>From the documentation for the @Out annotation: Specifies the scope to outject to. If no scope is explicitly specified, the default scope depends upon whether the value is an instance of a Seam component. If it is, the component scope is used. Otherwise, the scope of the component with the @Out attribute is used. But if the component scope is STATELESS, the EVENT scope is used. - http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/jboss/jboss-eap-4.2/doc/seam/api/org/jboss/seam/annotations/Out.html
Here is how I understand it If scope is explicitly specified: | the specified scope is used | otherwise: | if the outjected variable is a seam component: | The seam component's scope is used | otherwise | If scope of the component outjecting the variable is stateless | event scope is used | otherwise | the scope of the component outjecting the variable is used Looking at my example I would say that the List I am trying to outject is not a seam component. (The objects contained in the list are seam components, but the List being outjected is not). That is based on my understanding that a Seam component is declared with the @Name annotation. Is this correct? If anyone can confirm this or set me straight I would appreciate it. This brings up more questions. 1. What is the difference between doing this: @Stateless | @Name("clientTransmittalLineItemAction") | public class MySessionBeanImpl implements MySessionBean | { and this?: @Stateful | @Name("clientTransmittalLineItemAction") | @Scope(ScopeType.STATELESS) | public class MySessionBeanImpl implements MySessionBean | { 2. Is the second option even possible? 3. T or F? if you have a stateless session bean there is not any point in using the @Scope annotation. 4. T or F? If you have a stateful session bean you can specify any scope using the @Scope annotation other than ScopeType.STATELESS It seems that 90% of Seam examples in books and online all use SFSB. I am trying to understand when and how a SLSB would be better to use than a SFSB. Any help is appreciated.
