According to the intro in Chapter 8. Decorators: "Decorators may be associated with any managed bean that is not itself an interceptor or decorator or with any EJB session bean." Dependent-scoped beans are managed beans, so ergo, they must allow decorators. I can't provide a use case off the top of my head (just not something my mind is currently chewing on). -Dan On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 1:53 PM, Gurkan Erdogdu <gurkanerdogdu(a)yahoo.com&gt; wrote: Hi; Does the 299 specification indicate that interceptors and decorators should not be called for dependent scoped beans? Currently we do not implement Interceptor/Decorator on @Dependent scoped beans in OWB because we do all interceptor/decorator stuff using proxy and @Dependent scoped beans do not require client proxy. Does anyone has a good use case/example when dependent scoped beans are useful or necessary?
