Re: [eclipselink-users] v. 1.0.2 EntityManagerFactoryImpl throwing null

[Tom Ware <tom.ware@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gordon,

  It sounds like you are using the default EclipseLink connection pool.

  Is there any particular reason you have chosen to close your 
EntityManagerFactory?  What happens if you simply acquire a new entityManager 
from the same factory?  Do you have problems with the connection?
