Hello, I guess there is an issue with the stateful container. Actually, when a @Remove method is invoke, all attached persistence context must be closed as per the spec.
*7.6.2 Container-managed Extended Persistence Context* A container-managed extended persistence context can only be initiated within the scope of a stateful session bean. It exists from the point at which the stateful session bean that declares a dependency on an entity manager of type PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED is created, and is said to be bound to the stateful session bean. The dependency on the extended persistence context is declared by means of the PersistenceContext annotation or persistence-context-ref deployment descrip- tor element. The persistence context is closed by the container when the @Remove method of the stateful session bean completes (or the stateful session bean instance is otherwise destroyed). *3.2.7 Detached Entities* A detached entity results from transaction commit if a transaction-scoped container-managed entity manager is used (see section 3.3); from transaction rollback (see section 3.3.2); from detaching the entity from the persistence context; from clearing the persistence context; from closing an entity man- ager; or from serializing an entity or otherwise passing an entity by value—e.g., to a separate applica- tion tier, through a remote interface, etc. After checking the StatefulContainer, i saw the following comment // todo destroy extended persistence contexts For the moment, Persistence Context are released but not closed. I want to fix that, but would like to get your thoughts. BTW, in the #removeEJBObject method, I guess I must close persistence contexts after the afterInvoke method. Jean-Louis
