| The examples below demonstrate how to use the lifecycle methods presented in the |
| previous section. The examples are appropriate for out-of-container use. Within |
| a container, <code class="classname"> EntityManager</code>s are usually injected, and |
| transactions are usually managed. You would therefore omit the <code class="methodname"> |
| createEntityManager</code> and <code class="methodname">close</code> calls, as |
| well as all transaction demarcation code. |
