Thanks for the input. I am not operating inside an explicit EJB context or application server, but rather using OpenJPA in a regular J2SE application as a persistence layer.
In other words, I manage the scope of my own transactions and my entityManager lifecycles. My transactions I understand how to scope. How should I scope the EntityManager? -Marc On 11/5/07, Oliver Zeigermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > AFAIK in an EJB context the EM is closed when a transaction is ended. > Unless you configure an extended persistence context.
