Help

I'm happy to say that Seam 2.1.1 is one step closer to being done. We've just released Seam 2.1.1.CR1, so please take a look and let us know what you think. CR1 is largely a bug-fix release, with a number of notable performance improvements, especially around hot deploy. We've added support for PDF forms to the iText integration, and there's preliminary support for OpenID, but you'll have to wait for CR2 for the example and docs. Seam-gen now generates IntelliJ IDEA projects. And, I should also point out that we've changed a few of the URLs on examples to match up better with the example names.

Excellent news and looking forward to seeing the impact of the performance work proposed for 2.1.1. Any benchmarks yet?

Oh Maven please! I want better Maven integration. Hopefully Seam-gen could generate a Maven project with reasonable pom.xml files in root and various sub-modules. With "mvn clean install" from command line I should be able to get the skeleton Seam project rolling. A Seam mojo is nice too. Thanks in advance!

Totally agree with Ellen. Better Maven integration +1.

I develop (and am still developing) a Seam Archetype for Maven. It sets up a project with modules for war, ejb, ear and projects and is deployable from the start.

https://launchpad.net/seam-mvn-archetype

So it works really nice for starters but I still have to put some stuff in it. Only an older Version 2.0.2.GA is currently in the Archetype and the standard Project is very small (but it uses the DB).

Right now I can't deploy it anywhere (no server by hand) but checking it out via bzr should be easy.

Report this at Seam Users Forum http://seamframework.org/Community/SeamUsers and provide the database schema you are generating your entities from.

Setting up seam to work with maven 2 is hell due to all of the pitfalls:

  • Some jars are provided instead of runtime, so cause ClassCastException if they are deployed
  • I've found it easier to drop jboss as and just go for a jetty due this issue.
  • seam.properties in certain directories missing gives not working components
