Hi! > The Orchestra installation page has a tantalizing sentence: "The > installation guide will show you how to setup a JPA entity manager > ..., later a chapter explaining how to access Hibernate directly will > be added." Yep, we use it here with a completely custom way of how to get in touch to the session.

Hmmm ... thats strange, could you please try to add a breakpoint in HibernatePersistenceContextFactory at the close() method (statement: em.close();) You just have to ensure, that no one else closes the session you bound in the PersistenceContextFactory. Do you use the Spring hibernate templates? If you're still out of luck, could you please provide me a link to download your mini application to reproduce the problem. Here we do not even use the Spring templates but your own way of how to get access to the session opened in the PersistenceContextFactory. In fact we just allocate a session container in the PersistenceContextFactory and add the sessions required "on demand". Ok - thats another story. I am pretty sure we'll find a solution. Ciao, Mario
