Entity beans

Entity beans are not usually used as JSF action listeners, but do often function as backing beans that provide properties to JSF components for display or form submission. In particular, it is common to use an entity as a backing bean, together with a stateless session bean action listener to implement create/update/delete type functionality.

Seam entity bean components may be instantiated using Component.getInstance(),
@In(create=true) or directly using the new operator.
