Hi,
Thanks for your reply, i am sorry about my failed discription of the
problem.

I do my best.
Yes its an EJB-method, but its called from a Swing GUI client
application. In the GUI there is a dialog where an operator can edit a
user profile. One part of that action is to assign/remove groups the
user should/shouldn'T belong to.
So the first thing what happens in that dialog is to retrieve the user
entity (including the groups) from an EJB. This works totally fine here.
After editing the user's profile in the gui, the changed user entity
should be send back to the EJB to update the database.
So the EJB receives the unmanaged user entity (including the unmanaged
group entities). The purpose of the posted EJB method is to bring the
entities back into managed state to update the database.
This code is quite complex (and it doesn't work in production), and i
hope there is a simpler way to implement my use case. Any idea?
