[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Declaring session beans in ejb-jar.xml

In the case where there exists an abstract base class with member level annotations and an inheriting subclass SFSB, a basic Seam app works fine where the @Stateful annotation exists in the inheriting subclass. In this case, the jboss logs show: | Component: register, scope: EVENT, type: STATEFUL_SESSION_BEAN, class: org.test.hotelbooking.RegisterActionBean, JNDI: booking-seam-1.0-SNAPSHOT/RegisterActionBean/local | However, say instead of specifying the @Stateful annotation on the SFSB subclass, I define the session bean in the ejb-jar.xml like so: | <session> | <description>Register Action Bean</description> | <ejb-name>RegisterActionBean</ejb-name> | <local>org.test.hotelbooking.RegisterActionLocal</local> | <ejb-class>org.test.hotelbooking.RegisterActionBean</ejb-class> | <session-type>Stateful</session-type> | <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type> | </session> | the bean is not registered as a SFSB Seam component, rather a javabean Seam component. | Component: register, scope: EVENT, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: org.test.hotelbooking.RegisterActionBean, JNDI: booking-seam-1.0-SNAPSHOT/RegisterActionBean/local | Bear in mind, instead of specifying the @Name and @Scope annotations on the bean (subclass), we define them in components.xml like so: | <component | name="register" | class="org.test.hotelbooking.RegisterActionBean" | scope="event" | jndi-name="booking-seam-1.0-SNAPSHOT/RegisterActionBean/local"/> | Any ideas how we can define these beans as SFSB rather than javabeans and avoid using the @Stateful in the bean subclass?
