Hello,

I have a class annotated with:

@ManagedBean(eager = true, name = "connectionManager")
@ApplicationScoped

The purpose of this class is to provide an injectable resource that should not bean instantiated more than once.

I also have a bean that's injecting the resource with the following annotation:

@ManagedProperty(value="#{connectionManager}")

When the application is deployed, the deployment fails with the following error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Use of @javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean is forbidden. Please use @javax.inject.Named instead.
        at org.jboss.seam.faces.context.FacesAnnotationsAdapterExtension.failIfJsfManagedBeanAnnotationPresent(FacesAnnotationsAdapterExtension.java:57)

Why is @javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean use forbidden when using Seam Faces? What are my alternatives here?

Thanks!
