http://docs.jboss.com/seam/1.2.1.GA/reference/en/html/configuration.html About 1/4 of the way down under the heading: 21.1.4. Integrating Seam with your EJB container Thanks Gavin. I don't know why I couldn't find that in the docs but most probably because I didn't know at the time that that's what I was looking for. That clears up the rest of my confusion. The Seam examples I was looking at were written for using the embeddable EJB container which is why I thought "#{ejbName}/local" would work for me.
