A question about this very statement was brought up at a JSF 2.0 talk
presented yesterday at the NEJUG (by Jay Balunas). The question was whether
a session scoped bean could be marked as eager. Seam implements this by
listening for the HttpSession create event and instantiating any session
scoped managed beans marked as eager. Thus, session+eager would be a valid
combination.
