Agreed, docs can always be better. Although as far as OS projects go, these are pretty good. I did a quick search for PAGE scope and found that the issues example uses it. In particular the ProjectFinderBean. The usage and design pattern seem to fit my guess from a previous post. PAGE scope allows stateless controllers to outject and manipulate data relavant to a specific page (in this case a project search screen or something) across multiple requests. If this use case or Seam doemo doesn't work for you, start a new problem specific thread. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3970842#...
