Yes, that was it exactly.  I was pretty confused by all the different 
types of injection.  There's @ManagedProperty, @EJB, @Resource and 
@Inject at least, off the top of my head.  Looks like I'm going to have 
to study up and make certain I understand when it's appropriate to use each.

FYI, I was confused because one of my texts does a sneaky thing.  They 
annotate a class like this (not syntax checked):


@Named("user")
@SessionScoped
@Stateful
public class UserBean {

   @PersitenceContext
   private EntityManager em;

   public String getName() {...} // called from JSF view

   ... // other methods also called from JSF view
   ... // uses container manged transactions herein too

}

Which was kinda confusing how they set up this class.  However, the 
source listing, which occurs later, has an important detail.


import javax.ejb.Stateful;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;

@Named("user")
@SessionScoped
@Stateful
public class UserBean { ...

Yeah, after 518 pages of using javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped, they 
switch to the javax.enterprise.context one without calling out the 
change.  I probably should have caught that, but it's a lot to digest 
all at once.


I think we can declare this problem solved (and also PEBCAK).  @EJB for 
injection worked.  Incidentally, I also removed the em.flush() from my 
bean and the data was persisted anyway, which is what should have been 
happening all along.  Data should be persisted on a commit(), which 
happens at the end of any container manged transaction, so I was 
confused about that too.  So actually that's two mysteries solved.
