It's normal to split your entity (model) and action beans into different classes. You'll run into problems if you try to put the action methods on entities (e.g. Seam annotations have no effect). With Seam it's up to you whether you use POJOs for action beans or EJB3 Session beans. Or is that not what you are asking?
