EntityManager in ServicePOJO?

[mbe1]

Hi!

Is it possible to inject an EntityManager into an ServicePOJO? I want to search the db for new entries. But I get an exception, that the EM access must be within an transaction. How can I solve this?

thx Meikel

AFAIK, it is not possible, but you could use an session EJB to perform the logic that you want to do and get the EJB from the InitialContext....

You can also look up an EntityManagerFactory:

java:/EntityManagerFactories/<em-name>

THen you could use local EntityTransactions.
