I understand that an extended persistence context lasts the duration of the conversation or until the persistence context is closed by the container when the @Remove method of the stateful session bean completes (or the stateful session bean instance is otherwise destroyed).

Now obviously, the persistence context will also be closed in JPA 2/Hibernate when the bean is destroyed, but is there a corollary to @Remove in JPA 2/Hibernate?

Also, are there any pitfalls to keep in mind while using an extended persistence context?

    JPA/Hibernate are persistence technologies. They do not handle session (entity manager) management. They provide the entity manager and let other technologies manage it.

    • manually – open and close entity managers
    • EJB3 – as you mentioned
    • CDI, spring, guice, etc. dependency injection frameworks.

    PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED should be handled by the framework which injects the EntityManager where @PersistenceContext is present. This can’t be JPA/Hibernate alone.
