[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - @Out and default ScopeType

[andrew.rw.robinson]

I have a question regarding @Out and its use without the scope parameter.

JavaDoc:

ScopeType.UNSPECIFIED: Indicates that the scope is implied.

So, I assumed wrongly that this would use the scope of the managed bean that it is in:

@Name("mybean")
  | @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
  | public class MyBean
  | {
  |   @Out(required=false, value="someJsfName")
  |   private SomeObject myobject;
  | }

I thought that given the JavaDoc that "someJsfName" should be stored in the conversation, but it doesn't seem to be. When I posted back, the variable was not set in the APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES phase. This leads me to think the default is acually EVENT in behavior. When I explicitly set "scope=ScopeType.CONVERSATION" it worked fine.

The documentation on the @Out attribute doesn't really say what the default is. 

What is the bevaiour, and if I may suggest, can this be updated in the documentation (both JavaDoc and the manual)?

Thanks,
Andrew
