   <persistence>
   <persistence-unit name="manager1">
      <jta-data-source>java:/MySQLDS</jta-data-source>
      <properties>
         <property name="jboss.entity.manager.jndi.name" value="java:/Manager1"/>
         <property name="jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name" value="java:/Manager1Factory"/>
      </properties>
   </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

jboss.entity.manager.jndi.name gives you a transaction scoped entity manager you can interact with, while jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name binds the entity manager factory into global JNDI.
