I had something similar where I wanted to reject (throw away changes that I have made to entities without it being flushed/commited to the db).
In the end I had to do 3 things. 1. in persistence.xml I prevented hibernate from flushing: | <property name="hibernate.transaction.flush_before_completion" value="false"/> 2.1. I annotated my the SFSB to prevent transactional behavior on method boundaries: | @Stateful | @Name("contentManagementBean") | @Conversational(ifNotBegunOutcome = "ViewContentHomePage") | @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORTED) | public class ContentManagementBean implements Serializable, ContentManagement { | 2.2 The method where I had to make the choice (to accept and persist or reject and throw away everything) I annotated so that it requires a new transaction (note that no flushing would occur in any other method that is not annotated with this in this bean) | @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW) | public String save() throws Exception { | 3. When deciding that I want to reject and prevent flushing I also had to evict that specific object from the hibenate entity manager (this was the key for me ) and reload from the db (otherwise it might be flushed at a later stage) | HibernateEntityManager hem = (HibernateEntityManager)em; | hem.getSession().evict(metaContentInfo); | metaContentInfo = null; | MetaContentInfo mciOrig = em.find( | MetaContentInfo.class, mcid); | Or something along this line.
