ok, it was strategically stupid to post the my question at the weekend. But now that the weekend is over, does anyone have an opinion as to whether it is sufficient to add the ManagedEntityIdentityInterceptor just to conversation-scoped components? Why is this interceptor not added to a stateful session bean (SFSB) when the SFSB is request-scoped? (after all, execution of a request can encompass multiple calls to the same SFSB, and can't passivation of this SFSB happen between one of these calls?).
