use another EntityManager (i.e. from EclipseLink)

[tolot27]

Hi,

I want to know, how I can access the entity manager (org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.JpaEntityManager) from EclipseLink used in my Seam project.

I tried to cast the injected EntityManagerProxy to the JpaEntityManager, but this doesn't work.

So how can I access the underlying entity manager of the used JPA framework?

Hi!
I think maybe you will find this helpful:

So, you want to cast to the implementation? You can't easily do that currently. Have you tried entityManager.getDelegate() - I don't know what EclipseLink returns in that case, but it is worth seeing.

Hi Pete,

Yeah that works. entityManager.getDelegate() returns the JpaEntityManager object.

Thanks!
