I should elaborate: if you're in a JTA environment there is also the
option of using UserTransaction with your application-managed EMs (see
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19798-01/821-1841/bnbra/index.html)

This is not something that I have found myself doing personally: I
either use application-managed EMs with the EntityTransaction API (hence
RESOURCE_LOCAL), or container-managed EMs with container-managed JTA
transactions.

On a side note: if you're Java EE 6 (and judging by the
"postBean.createNewPost()" maybe you are) then you might want to use CDI
and the @Named and @Inject annotations rather than @ManagedBean and
@ManagedProperty. With a Java EE 6 server (like Glassfish 3) you'll have
the Weld reference implementation of CDI included most likely, and all
you have to do is set up a beans.xml file in your WEB-INF to kickstart it.
