Is it a good idea to use a class/seam component that extends an EntityQuery when checking for user and password credentials?
Inside the authenticator component I have created a Seam Component that extends EntityQuery which checks if the user and password is valid on a USER table:
try{
....
User theuser= (User)userQuery.getSingleResult();
...
...
} catch {PersistenceException pe) {
facesMessage.add("Invalid Username/Password");
}
Problem with this code is the scenario when the first login attempt is invalid, I can't retry my login anymore as the 2nd attempt will now issue an Exception saying that there is no Tranasction open
Or shhould i just use a Session Bean instead of the EntityQuery?
