pete> yeah tahts what i thought. And i realize the component stores all the attributes surrounding. But just trying to figure out the sequence flow .... andi think i am missing a disconnect where the SeamPhaseListner calls and the POJO/EJB is called ... which i realise the SeamListener is responsible for the storing of the context objects in the EJB.

The SeamInvocationContext seems just for EJBs View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3964138#...
