I've had a few discussions with a certain EE vendor who is

that the use of the "Bean" terminology sends the message that Web

necessarily agree, but I can see why some people might get that
impression. Whatever: on this issue I think we should do whatever is
necessary to make 299 palatable to all the vendors in the space.
As long as the specs don't become JSR 299: Injectable Types ;-)
Could the term "Managed" or "Contextual" be applied instead? Although
a session bean is automagically a session bean
in WB it looks like no value has been added at all. "Managed session
bean"? "Contextual session bean"?
Are singleton beans also classified as "session beans" BTW?
