I've created an interface PMF:

PMF.java
package com.turbomanage.gwt.server;

import javax.jdo.PersistenceManager;

public interface PMF
{
        PersistenceManager getPersistenceManager();
}

and a default implementation that I inject via Guice into my service
classes:

DefaultPMF.java
package com.turbomanage.gwt.server;

import javax.jdo.PersistenceManager;

public interface PMF
{
        PersistenceManager getPersistenceManager();
}

Each service then calls pmf.getPersistenceManager(). I hope this is
right :-)

A benefit of the injection approach is that you can easily create a
TestPMF that is injected for unit tests. I've written a little about
this at
