public PersistenceUnitUtil getPersistenceUnitUtil();

The EntityManagerFactory method getPersistenceUnitUtil to provide access to a PersistenceUnitUtil utility. PersistenceUnitUtil can be used to obtain the identity of a managed object and determine the load state of the entity or one of its attributes. If the object is not managed by one of the entity managers created from the entity manager factory from which the utility was obtained, the getIdentifier method will return null and the isLoaded methods will return false.

EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory();
PersistenceUnitUtil puUtil = emf.getPersistenceUnitUtil();

if (puUtil.getIdentifier(deptEntity) == null) {
    throw new Exception("Identity is not valid.");
}
if (!puUtil.isLoaded(deptEntity, "employees")) {
    throw new Exception("Employees not loaded.")
}
