It is weird. In the seam book by Michael Yuan, it is mentioned in several places that a seam POJO component has conversational scope by default. I just checked the reference guide and it says event context. Anyways I set the scope annotation to conversation explicitly but still have the same behavior. BTW I'm using Seam 1.2.1GA and JBoss AS 4.0.5 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4082825#...
