Is it correct to assume that stateful session bean with scope event will never be passivated when using TransactionalSeamPhaseListener? This is because the stateful session bean will be considered in a transaction and therefore it will prevent the EJB3.0 container from passivating it? The rule of not passivating an SFSB when it is in a transaction is mentioned in the EJB3.0 spec (page 63).
