[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - @Factory on a Conversational SFSB

Hi all, I'm having some problems using @Factory/@DataModel/@DataModelSelection on an SFSB with conversation scope. I've done a bit of forum-searching and came across the following comment from Gavin: "2) factory methods are called every time a variable is referenced - you can't really 'clear' it " I have some questions about this: 1) If the component that is instantiated by the factory already exists, why should Seam call the factory method again? 2) In my case, Seam is instantiating a NEW instance of my SFSB to call the factory method, even though one already exists in conversation scope. Is this correct? I'm currently looking at a workaround by using a page action instead of @Factory, but I just want to clarify this behaviour. thanks, Daniel.
