[jbossseam-issues] Managed/Backing Beans in Seam

I realize that one of Seam's goals is to get rid of the JSF Managed/Backing Beans and replace them with, instead, EJB. As such, Seam applications are afforded container managed persistence, including transaction management. However, is it possible to still have a managed bean in a Seam application? Let's say that some data being displayed on a JSF page does not originate from a database? Therefore, I don't need a full EJB. Any ideas? Thanks!
