Loosen restrictions around @PersistenceContext
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-1108
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1108
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0.GA
            Reporter: Michael Youngstrom
             Fix For: 1.3.0.BETA1


Spring can utilize the @PersistenceContext annotation in a bean to auto inject an EntityManager.  However, if you create a Spring bean with @PersistenceContext on one of its fields and make it a Seam component Seam assumes that's invalid and throws an exception.  It would be nice if Seam could loosen validation of the @PersistenceContext to better accommodate unconventional uses.

Caused by: 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: @PersistenceContext may only be used on session bean or message driven bean components: userService
