Hi Bengt,
This is actually a case that isn't covered by the existing JPA blueprint integration. The and elements are effectively specialized property elements. As such your example is effectively: <bean id="businessUnitServiceImpl" class="se.digia.sts.refdata.impl.BusinessUnitServiceImpl" factory-method="create"> <argument> <property name="entityManager" ref="magic_internal_JPA_bean_name"/> </argument> </bean> This obviously is garbage from a blueprint point of view. To progress your application development the only option currently is to expose a setter method on the "businessUnitServiceImpl" bean. If this isn't possible for some reason, then please raise a JIRA enhancement against the Aries JPA container, and I'll look at adding this support. I would like to check though, why is it necessary to pass the context to the factory method? Managed persistence context objects do not need to be shared between beans as the context propagates with the active transaction.
