The JSF pages from Entity Classes wizard does not support Visual JSF pages. Also, the JPA controller is required to have
a create method when the wizard is run.

It shouldn't throw an exception. The option should not be available or at least there should be a message that indicates
that "JSF pages from Entity Classes wizard does not support Visual JSF pages".

Perhaps the simplest thing would be to provide a message and disable the "Next" button in the first frame of the
entity2jsf wizard if the project is a visual web project. Copying abadea to see if he agrees with that (and marking
incomplete while awaiting his response). Something like this is probably necessary because if the project contains the
visual web jsf framework, it hooks up listeners that do undesired things when the wizard is run.

wobster, while we're at it, please clean, zip, and attach your project if possible.

Marking P4.

Reporter didn't provided required information for more than 14 days. 
I'm closing this issue as worksforme, as we are not able to reproduce it with available information. 
Please, feel free to reopen when you face the problem again but attach the additional info.

thank you for report

I can't provide the project since it is proprietary (not my property). There are still problems with the latest wizard
if the bean does not follow Java Bean conventions exactly. I have to review the NetBeans log files to figure out what
happened. 

(Also, it doesn't seem to handle inheritance as well or lazy persistent lists.)

This bug is about providing a message to avoid use with visualweb. To my knowledge, I have fixed problems with
inheritance. If not, it would have to be filed a separate issue. Use of lazy fetching would also have to be a separate
issue; incidentally, there are known problems with lazy fetching using hibernate jpa. I'll keep in mind for future
reference that your code is proprietary and cannot be attached.

You're right, I thought this was the other bug related to not adhering to JavaBean conventions. Sorry about that.

I did submit a lazy loading and inheritance bug report as well for your reading pleasure. :-)

This has not been fixed, so reopening.

Please reevaluate there are still fresh reports.

I saw this issue before but never had complete steps to reproduce, if anybody have any sample project where it's always
reproducible or any additional details about entities, schema, used libraries etc, please attach, provide.
ma be the issue if fixed now, latest reports are from 6.7, but also jpa controller usage in web is less probable now as
it was replaced by session bean when it's possible. Can't reproduce in 090923 even with 20+ entities.

no reports in 6.8 so far. if the issue will be reproducible please provide schema for your database if possible, or if
entities was created manually please attach project.
