Hi Jeromy, Thanks for your response. It sounds like your solution works, but it doesn't seem like this would integrate with container managed persistence very well.
It's strange this is so difficult to achieve in the "next generation" struts. I don't know why JPA/EJB3 is an afterthought. I really don't want to abandon Struts 2 at this point since it was exactly what I was looking for except for this one very large issue. I'd still be very interested in hearing from anyone that has thought about or solved this problem of using Struts 2 in a managed environment.

Hi Caine, I use JPA. I place the EntityManagerFactory into the application context so it can be accessed by an S2 interceptor. The S2 interceptor creates an EntityManager for each request as per the open session in view pattern and so lazy loading can be used where appropriate. This doesn't qualify as CPM though which is what you asked for. I haven't tried using S2 with an EJB container yet. There's no need to use spring. cheers, Jeromy Evans Caine Lai wrote: > No one?
