With a proper cascade on the activities list stored within the user, you should 
be able to just bind the values that are editable via the value attribute of 
each JSF component.  After they are validated and the model is updated (i.e. 
new values are set on each appropriate activity) saving the user at the end of 
the transaction will update the DB representation of whatever activities have 
changed.  There should be no merging necessary  as long as your conversation is 
long running because they are the same objects from page to page.  What could 
be easier than that?

If what you're saying about the UserActions SLSB is that you have a User 
spanning more than one conversation, try this:


  | @In(create = true)
  | private EntityManager em;
  | 
  | private String userId;
  | 
  | public void setUser(User user){
  |   this.userId = user.getId();
  | }
  | 
  | public User getUser(){
  |   return em.find(User.class, userId);
  | }
  | 

Seam will make sure the appropriate conversation scoped em is injected into 
your SLSB on each call so you'll get the same User object every time, as long 
as you are within the same conversation.  No merging necessary.  You can even 
inject it into other beans using @In(value="#{userActions.user}")
