I am trying to understand when Stateless session beans should be used within the Seam framework. I orginally thought I could outject from a Stateless Session Bean to my JSF page as follows: @Stateless | @Name("myBeanA") | public class MyBeanAImpl implements MyBeanA | { | @Out(required = true) | List<Rptprdmgbinder> propertyBinders; | | public String showPropertyDamageBinders() | { | Date filterDate; | Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(); | cal.set(2007, 10,5); | filterDate=cal.getTime(); | propertyBinders=countyOfficeDocService.getPropertyBinders(worker.getOffice().getId(), filterDate); | return ""; | } But this only works if I specify conversation scope on the outjected variable: @Stateless | @Name("myBeanA") | public class MyBeanAImpl implements MyBeanA | { | @Out(required = true,scope=ScopeType.CONVERSATION) | List<Rptprdmgbinder> propertyBinders; | | public String showPropertyDamageBinders() | { | Date filterDate; | Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(); | cal.set(2007, 10,5); | filterDate=cal.getTime(); | propertyBinders=countyOfficeDocService.getPropertyBinders(worker.getOffice().getId(), filterDate); | return ""; | } I still need to study the inner workings of a Stateless Session bean, but can anyone explain cases or examples where using a stateless session bean within a Seam application would be advisable? Does it ever make sense to use a Stateless session bean for an Action Listener by outjecting a variable into a conversation scope (as shown above) or is it better to use a Stateful session bean?
