I am attempting to load a SelectOneMenu with a list of entities. I then want to use the selection in a query to get another entity. Seems like a simple use case so far.

Should I be using the entity from SelectOneMany or just its id field to filter the query?

I am getting a bunch of weird TransientObjectExceptions when my page loads/reloads.

Here is an example of what I am doing

I have a SelectOneMenu with a list of LandmarkType entities (filled from entity-query "allLandmarkTypes") that have a one to many relationship with Landmark entity. I wish to fill a list of Landmarks based on my LandmarkType selection

<h:outputLabel id="landmarkType_label" for="landmarkType_id"
|  value="#{messages['AddressLookup.landmarkType']}"/>
| <a4j:region selfRendered="true">
|  <h:selectOneMenu id="landmarkType_id"
|    value="#{landmarkType}">
|    <s:selectItems label="#{landType.landmarkTypeDescription}"
|      value="#{allLandmarkTypes.resultList}"
|      noSelectionLabel="(None)" var="landType"/>
|    <s:convertEntity/>
|    <a4j:support event="onchange"
|      actionListener="#{addressLocator.fillLandmarkList}"
|      ajaxSingle="true" reRender="landmark_input"/>          
|  </h:selectOneMenu>
| </a4j:region>
| <h:outputLabel id="landmark_label" for="landmark_id"
|  value="#{messages['AddressLookup.landmark']}"/>        
| <h:selectOneMenu id="landmark_input" value="#{landmark}">
|  <s:selectItems label="#{land.landmarkName}"
|    value="#{landmarkList}"
|    noSelectionLabel="(None)" var="land"/>
|  <s:convertEntity/>                    
| </h:selectOneMenu>


| @Stateful
| @Name("addressLocator")
| public class AddressLocatorAction implements AddressLocator {
|
| @In(required=false)
| private LandmarkType landmarkType;
|
| @Out(required=false)
| List<Landmark> landmarkList;
|
| @Factory("landmarkList")
| public void fillLandmarkList() {
|
|  landmarkList = entityManager.createQuery("SELECT l from Landmark l WHERE l.landmarkType = :landmarkType" +
|    " OR :landmarkType IS NULL ORDER BY l.landmarkName").setParameter("landmarkType",landmarkType).getResultList();
|  
| }
| ....
|

So my question is, should I be dealing with the LandmarkType entity directly or should I just use its Id to filter the Landmark List. I am concerned about the state of the LandmarkType entity. What is the recommended way of dealing with this seemingly simple use case?

When I load the page I get the following error.
