I just was reading the code for one of the Seam 3 booking example classes (http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/examples/trunk/booking/ejb-jar/src/main/java/org/jboss/seam/examples/booking/booking/BookingAgentBean.java):
public...
@Named("bookingAgent")
@Stateful
@ConversationScoped
class BookingAgentBean implements BookingAgent
{
private @Logger Log log;
@PersistenceContext(type = EXTENDED) EntityManager em;
@Inject Conversation conversation;
@Inject StatusMessages statusMessages;
@Inject BookingFormControls formControls;
@Registered User user;
//@Fires @Confirmed Event<BookingEvent> bookingConfirmedEvent;
@Inject BeanManager manager;
private Hotel hotelSelection;
private Booking booking;
private boolean bookingValid;
public void selectHotel(Hotel hotel)
{
// NOTE get a fresh reference that's managed by the conversational persistence context
hotelSelection = em.find(Hotel.class, hotel.getId());
log.info("Selected the {0} in {1}", hotelSelection.getName(), hotelSelection.getCity());
conversation.begin();
}
