I think what I see is that in the MDB I don't have access to Seam contexts. But I'd like to get my server wide settings out of an application scoped Seam component. I think I've seen that if I'd declare that component an SFSB and try to get it as EJB3 than I won't get the same instance as if I get it as Seam component. Did I see that correctly?
