Hi all,

I'd like to use the EntityManager, mainly to take advantage of the @PreUpdate/@PreInsert POJO annotations. However, I'm not quite ready to jump whole hog into using an EJB container. I've re-written the standard HibernateUtil and replaced Session with EntityManager.

My question is, would I have to place the EntityTransaction object into its own ThreadLocal, or can I simply use EntityManager.getTransaction () to get the current thread-local transaction?

use em.getTransaction()
