+               <literal>CR363182</literal>
+               ). This issue has to do with certain EJB methods
+               incorrectly left out of Weblogic's generated internal
+               stub classes. At the time of this writing the status of
+               this issue is not known. When this issue has been
+               patched, and tested with Seam this reference guide

+               So that Seam's users can deploy an EJB application to
+               Weblogic a special Weblogic specific jar has been
+               created, starting with Seam 2.0.2.CR2. It is located in
+               the
+               <literal>$SEAM/lib/interop</literal>
+               directory and is called
+               <literal>jboss-seam-wls-compatible.jar</literal>
+               . The only difference between this jar and the
+               <literal>jboss-seam.jar</literal>
+               is that it does not contain the
+               <literal>TimerServiceDispatcher</literal>
+               EJB. To use this jar simply rename the
+               <literal>jboss-seam-wls-compatible.jar</literal>
+               to
+               <literal>jboss-seam.jar</literal>
+               and replace the original in your applications
+               <literal>EAR</literal>
+               file. The

+                              The changes described here work around an
+                              issue where Weblogic is only using a
+                              single instance of the
+                              <literal>sessionBeanInterceptor</literal>
+                              for all session beans. Seam's interceptor
+                              caches and stores some component specific
+                              attributes, so when a call comes in - the
+                              interceptor is primed for a different
+                              component and an error is seen. To solve
+                              this problem you must define a separate
+                              interceptor binding for each EJB you wish
+                              to use. When you do this Weblogic will use
+                              a separate instance for each EJB.
