You have to call remove on the managed entity - the object returned from the merge call is managed.
[code]
Unit managedUnit = em.merge(unit);
em.remove(managedUnit);
[/code]
The persist api will take a new entity and make it managed, the merge api will take a detached object and return the managed object.
