Instances of Bean could optionally implement PassivationCapable.

We would also need to add a method to BeanManager:

interface BeanManager {
PassivationCapable<?> getPassivationCapableBean(String id);
}

WDYT?

Maybe instead of using String, introduce a BeanIdentifier object that reasonably implements equals(), hashCode(), and toString(), and is Serializable?

I don't see a reason to force the id to be implemented via String.
