I think that the current 7.6.2 wording "detached at the end of the
method call", is ambiguous about which method call is intended (the
entity manager method invocation or the container level method invocation.)
I think that clarifying it with one of the following changes, would
eliminate the ambiguity.
Updated proposal for last paragraph in 7.6.2:
"
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.
"

Scott
