[booking]: Why the changePasswordAction is statefull and on

[littlewing1112]

Hello,
im a newbie on jboss seam.
I saw in the ChangePasswordAction declaration that this EJB is statefull and initialized on EVENT scope as folllowing:

@Stateful
@Scope(EVENT)
@Name("changePassword")
@LoggedIn
public class ChangePasswordAction implements ChangePassword

Firstly, why this action is statefull? In my opinion, this should be stateless. Furthermore, she s defined under the event scope, I dont understand why a statefull bean should be in event scope.
Could someone give me an explanation of this? It would be nice ...

Thansk in advance for your help

The bean holds state between method calls (hence stateful) that occur during a particular request (hence EVENT scope).
