This looks OK, I will try to go this way.

implements Destroyed interface.

This is also good idea, but I have my actions bound to methods of 'session'
scoped component so I would have to create that special component from
inside other component via as.getComponent() - which seem little dirty to
me.

I would really suggest to have something like <post-render-invoke> in some
future release.

One more question/suggestion: It would be really nice to have some way of
accessing AS components from any class. I know that JNDI is planned, that
would be great! I was thinking about some class with static AS component
accessors, but I didn't succeed.

Imagine this:

You have AS component "PersistenceManager" with session scope. This
component has all the DB specific stuff in it.

Then you create your datamodel classes according to ActiveRecord pattern, so
you have methods like

person.persist()
person.delete() etc.

And you can implement these methods (in common BaseClass!) like:

void persist() {
	pm = somehowGetASComponent("PersistenceManager");
	pm.save(this);
}

It seems to me that now the only way is to pass AS to all classes in
constructor which looks quite ugly...

Many greetings to you all!
