OK, I guess I solved my problem. This is what I ended up doing:
| KidBean kid = parent.getKids().get(mappingIndex); | em.remove(kid); | parent.getKids().remove(mappingIndex); | em.merge(parent); | return parent; | Seems if I don't return the parent changes aren't made evident in the front end and that detached bean ends up updating the database somehow. I didn't think that was possible. Anyway, by ensuring that the merge happens in the session bean and returning it to the front end things work. Thanks for everyone that looked and thanks again, Chris.
