[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - [Newbie] Understanding Bijection

I've been reading through the Seam docs and the concept of Bijection is still a little hazy for me.

How I understand it so far:
Injection is used on the session bean to make the entity available without having to "manually" construct it.

  | @In
  | Foo foo;
  | 
VS.

  | Foo foo = new Foo();
  | 

When using injection, Seam searches its context for a component named "foo" and injects it into the session bean. If it is in a stateful context (such as SESSION), this injection may already have data, which otherwise would not be available using the simple constructor. If it doesn't have data, a factory can be called to instantiate the injection. 

To make a component available to the presentation tier, you must outject it  so it can be referenced in JSF.

  | Java
  | 
  | @Out
  | Bar bar;
  | 

  | JSF
  | 
  | <h:outputText value="#{bar.value}"/>
  | 

Is my understanding correct so far?

Thanks!
