The main thing is that JPA is NOT A DATA-MANIPULATION TECHNIQUE. It is an object-manipulation technique. The single biggest mistake is to use JPA as a wrapper for SQL rather than a persistence mechanism for objects.

The second mistake is to keep a 'DataManager' around too long. They should be ephemeral.
