I'm not really following you (my fault, I've been staring at a screen for too long ;) BUT, I will re-iterate the advice, that, with Seam, you only ever want to put into the session information that really belongs there (i.e. normally just info about the currently logged in info). You'll find it easier to make the entity bean conversation scoped and, if necessary, manage it's lifecycle with a session scoped component. Also, if you really are using managed beans (as opposed to Seam components) you're probably making your life harder than need be ;) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4004421#...
