In the class level javadoc of org.jboss.seam.InterceptionType, it says the following: Rules for when Seam will intercept invocations upon a component to perform bijection, validation, context demarcation, etc. For JavaBeans and session beans, the default interception type is INVOKE_APPLICATION. All entity beans have interception type NEVER. But in the Enum Constant Summary it says: AFTER_RESTORE_VIEW Seam intercepts any invocations that occur after the restore view phase (default for session bean and JavaBean components) Which is it?
