5.2.8. Defining the component scope

The @Scope annotation lets us override the scope (context) of a component to define the context a component instance is bound to when instantiated by Seam.

@Name("user") 
@Entity 
@Scope(SESSION) 
public class User { ... }

@Name("user") 
@Entity 
@Scope(SESSION) 
public class User { ... }

org.jboss.seam.ScopeType defines an enumeration of possible scopes.
