Hi,
Can you look up EMF in the classes where you currently use
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory approach? If you do, it will behave the
same way as an injected @PersistenceUnit.

My goal is to have webservices and jsf pages in the same project share the same persistence unit and have the container manage the transactions. I'm not sure how to do this with jax-ws webservices. I've tried rigging it up by putting a managed bean entry in faces-config.xml and then calling it from the webservice class, but all I get is a null pointer if I try to access it. I'm trying to access the managed bean like this:
