I'll toot your horn for you... good presentation.

There is a section in the presentation where you drag and drop from the Run time screen on to a drop down or table component and data providers are automatically created. Is it also possible to drag and drop and EJB3 data object on to a component? These of course don't show in the run time tab but are just classes in a package associated with a persistence.xml file.

Or is there a way to visually add a personDataProvider to a page in the navigator and associate it with an EJB3 data object that is generated when you use netbeans' generate entities from database functionality?

Is it possible to use all the slick drop and drag functionality of VWP with the Persistance API (toplink, hibernate, etc.)?

On the VWP site there is a very good tutorial called "Using Databound Componets to Access a Database" showing how to drop/drag/bind but this does not focus on the Persistence API. Does anyone know of a similar tutorial for working with VWP and the Persistence API (toplink, etc.)?

It's not a tutorial, and I'm not really trying to toot my own horn :-), but I recorded a webinar introducing the new features of Visual Web Pack, including walking through an example of using the Java Persistence API to access information from a database, and binding it to visual components. Scroll down to the "What's New in Visual Web Pack" item, at:

http://www.netbeans.org/community/news/calendar.html

The basic idea of using a JPA entity class as a property of your page bean, and then binding the JSF components to properties of this entity, is my favorite approach for using JPA and JSF together.
