okay, based on what you said below,

my @Stateless EJB has doSomeStuffAndCommit(), but doSomeStuffAndCommit() is
'usually' SQL SELECTs, and in my Abstract class for @Stateless @EJB, I have
the following:
protected abstract EntityManager getEntityManager();
public void create(T entity) {
// 2011-09-17 flush immediately after persist/create
getEntityManager().persist(entity);
getEntityManager().flush();
}
public void create(T entity, Boolean flush) {
getEntityManager().persist(entity);
if (flush) getEntityManager().flush();
}
public void edit(T entity) {
// 2011-09-17 flush immediately after merge
getEntityManager().merge(entity);
getEntityManager().flush();
}
public void edit(T entity, Boolean flush) {
getEntityManager().merge(entity);
if (flush) getEntityManager().flush();
}
public void flush() {
getEntityManager().flush();
}
public void remove(T entity) {
// 2011-09-17 flush immediately after remove/merge the
managed/detached entity
getEntityManager().remove(getEntityManager().merge(entity));
getEntityManager().flush();
}
public void remove(T entity, Boolean flush) {
getEntityManager().remove(getEntityManager().merge(entity));
if (flush) getEntityManager().flush();
}
majority of my app, calls the create(T entity), edit(T entity), and
remove(T entity) methods above where flush() is called after the
entityManager operation.
below, is a method I have in a @Singleton bean that is called via @Schedule
to get some data from email account and write data to database.
again, the method below is only one of the methods that is in the
@Singleton bean.
private void createAuditTrail(String relatedEntityName,
Object relatedEntityObj,
String description) {
AuditTrail current = new AuditTrail();
current.setDescriptionTx(description);
try {
Users user = getUser("system");
if (user == null) {
logger.info("Error adding AUDIT TRAIL; 'system' user does
not exist");
return;
}
current.setUserName(user);
current.setAuditTrailId(1);
current.setAuditTrailDt(new Date());
ejbFacadeAuditTrail.create(current);
// add auditTrail to order
if (relatedEntityName.equals("orders")) {
Orders order = (Orders) relatedEntityObj;
current.addOrder(order);
ejbFacadeAuditTrail.edit(current);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.info("Error adding AUDIT TRAIL" +
(e.getMessage() != null ? "; " + e.getMessage() :
""));
}
}
Majority of my app is CDI @SessionScoped or @ViewScoped beans that call
@Stateless @EJB to select/create/update/delete data in database.
CDI @SessionScoped and @ViewScoped beans will get data via @Stateless @EJB,
and CDI @SessionScoped and @ViewScoped beans may do some data manipulation,
and then @Stateless @EJB is called to do the entityManager create(),
edit(), remove() to update database, accordingly.
The only time I write a lot of logic in @EJBs is when I am preparing for
SQL SELECT.
The @Singleton bean example code that I provided above is one of only
(@Singleton) @EJBs that have a lot of code that does a specific job.
So, when I removed entityManager.flush() from my Abstract class, earlier,
per Jean-Louis's recommendation, some data was saved to database by
@Singleton and most of the data was 'not' saved to database.
Definition of @Singleton is below:
@Singleton
@Lock(LockType.WRITE)
@AccessTimeout(value = 2, unit = TimeUnit.MINUTES)
public class AddEmailRequest {
