Not the call to the entity manager proxy. I mean the code that is
calling the entity manager proxy (e.g. a session bean calling the entity
manager proxy.)
Perhaps a clearer proposal could be:
"
If the entity manager is invoked outside the scope of a transaction, any
entities loaded from the database will immediately become detached at
the end of the container level method invocation call (e.g. when the
session bean method ends).
