Changes to entity converter requires selectable entities to be managed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-1487
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1487
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JSF
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0.ALPHA
         Environment: JBOss AS 4.2.0.GA
Seam 1.3.0.ALPHA
            Reporter: Felix Ho?feld
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 1.3.0.GA


The refactoring of the entity converter requires entities to be managed. If they are not the following exception is thrown:

org.hibernate.TransientObjectException: The instance was not associated with this session.

For me this is an api regression and therefore a blocker because it may introduce very nasty bugs which will be hard to detect. While a work around exists (see below) it is not easy to refactor existing application accordingly. Therefore this may effectivly prevent many people from upgrading to JBoss 4.2.0/Seam 1.3.0. (This is just my personal opinion and sort - feel free to downgrade this bug!)

Would it be possible to catch the exception and fall back to the old behaviour?
