Thanks...so I guess my question would be, as long as I define my variables in the MDB with an @Out annotation, then in the onMessage method do the Lifecycle calls, the renderer should be able to use the objects I create in my MDB to render the facelet and send the email? I don't really need any components from Seam in my MDB, just want to make sure the objects created in the MDB are available for the email. Thanks.
