If I'm understanding your question, you could just use a factory method to create the bean and initialize it on demand. | @Factory(name="gameAction",scope=SESSION) | public GameAction initGameAction() { | | GameAction result = new GameAction(someId,someName); | return result; | } | When you inject it simply specifiy that you want to create it if it doesn't exist. | //in some other bean | @In(create=true) | private GameAction gameAction; | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4057783#...
