Spring Data Jpa breaks JpaFlowContextPersistence

[jsimas]

Hello.

I've already posted a related thread about this (http://forum.springsource.org/showth...ery-view-state!), however i already found what the problem is:

Spring Data Jpa Repositories breaks JPA Flow Persistence.

The problem is that if i call directly a Jpa Repository in the flow, for some reason, the model entity is saved into the Database not following the JpaFlowExcution pattern.

So, if you have:

    
        <persistence-context />

	<view-state id="edit" model="xpto">
		<transition on="back" to="cancelEdit" bind="false" validate="false" />
		<transition on="save" to="endSave">
			<evaluate expression="xptoFlowService.save(xpto)" />
		</transition>
                <transition on="test" to="edit">
			<evaluate expression="xptoFlowService.someRandomMethod()" />
			<evaluate expression="fooJpaRepository.count()" />
                </transition>
	</view-state>	
	
	<end-state id="cancelEdit" commit="false" />
	<end-state id="endSave" commit="true" />

On test transition, the model is persisted into the database. Just remove:
<evaluate expression="fooJpaRepository.count()" />
and everything runs as expected.

I'm really stuck in this issue, and i would be very thankfull if anyone could help me. If spring data jpa repositories cannot be used inside the Webflow, this will be a big pitfall and i will be forced to give up spring data jpa

I'm using Spring Data 1.1.0 with Spring Webflow 2.3.1 and JPA 2.0.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards
