Entity Manager Returning Wrong DB Blob In a Servlet
jboss 5.1
seam 2.2 GA
Ive been fighting a problem one and off for about 4 months now. I followed the examples and wrote a servlet that servers up images from the DB. The issue is, the seams example provided periodically fails when there are multiple images on the page. i had previously used JAI for on the fly scaling and thought it was the source of the trouble. but after removing the code entirely and going with shane's 2Dgraphics example managed to get it working for one site. moved to a different site... and running the same servlet code saw the bug once again. so i debugged more and found that in fact the entityManager was returning the incorrect record. Im not sure if its a configuration problem or a serious bug in seams (something to do with caching maybe)..
so i moved the servlet to a usermanaged transaction... and it worked.. mostly. the incorrect results query results stopped.. but then i started having trouble with the context not being active.. but not being able to join the transaction. end result is periodically the servlet will fail to return anything at all... i know i cant be the only person seeing this problem... here is some code...
public class ContentServlet extends HttpServlet {

ContentAction.java -- seen this somewhere before?
@Scope(STATELESS)
@Name("contentAction")
public class ContentAction {
@In
EntityManager entityManager;
public Picture getProductImage(long pictureId) {
Picture img = entityManager.find(Picture.class, pictureId);
//if (img == null || !Identity.instance().hasPermission(img, "view"))
// return null;
// else
return img;
}
so as i said before, first i changed my code to completely mirror the seams example... rendering included... and i still see the mess...
then i did this..

seriously ive been on this for 4 months. every time i think it is fixed.. give it a week and back again. can someone please direct me was to what might be going on here? i have debugged countless times and i know for a fact the parameters enter the servlet correctly in the seams example but the entityManager periodically returns the WRONG RECORD ,,, WHEN there are numerous servlet request on the same page.
im getting desperate here and doubting my abilities started 3 months ago. PLEASE,, how do i make the problem just go away and work like the code i wrote???
