Well, I'm safely home after my first JBossWorld, and I wanted to share some of the highlights for Seam at JBossWorld Orlando - lots of presentations about Seam, and more on RichFaces, Hibernate, Tools etc.
Of particular interest to me was the presentation by Cameron Ingram and Shawn Hill on using Seam with Flex. Cameron and I had a couple of discussions about where they plans to take this project and I'm looking forward to seeing Flex become a first-class
view layer for use with Seam. Great work guys!
I also attended Thomas Heute's presentation on JBoss Portal, where he introduced the JBoss Portlet Bridge, a joint effort between the Seam, JBoss Portal and RichFaces teams to allow you to use JBoss Portal with Seam and RichFaces - he showed off using the Seam Booking example in a Portal.
And, the highlight for many was the Web Beans (JSR 299) talk by Gavin. Some really good work has gone on since the Early Draft Review - it's shaping up to be a great spec! You can find out more here.
My personal favourite though was the Seam/Web Beans/Hibernate/Tools BOF - we had an excellent attendance and got some really good discussions going - I love interacting with the community like this!
I promised to put the slides up from my Introduction to Seam presentation - and also the slides from the BOF where I talked a bit about Seam with Wicket.
It would be great to collect the slides from the various Seam presentations on SeamFramework.org - so please, put a link here - feel free to upload them onto SeamFramework.org.
The link to your is wrong. Correct link should be:
http://www.seamframework.org/service/File/3101
Thanks for posting the slides :)
The BOF was really good! Unfortunately I had to catch my flight back home so that I missed Gavin's talk on Web Beans.
I'll get a clearance from my customer so that I'll be able to post the slides here. That should not be a problem.
We are waiting on legal to authorize distribution of our case study.
Also, wanted to share that Cameron Ingram, James Ward, and some of us Big Lots guys were wanting to work on tighter Flex/Seam integration. Is this something for the Seam codebase?
We are very happy to host the work in Seam SVN/on SeamFramework.org if it works for everyone. We would love to have an example in the examples/ directory and some documentation in the reference guide.
I'll start a discussion on seam-dev@lists.jboss.org.
I just posted my stuff on my website...

I would definately be interested in supporting the Seam / Wicket integration.

Hi pete,
Where can we get the presentation files?
Seam wicket integration is located here.
I think any integration with Seam would be interesting.
Checkout the jboss-seam-wicket.jar in Seam 2.1.0.A1 - it offers much more complete support for Wicket including Seam Security and conversations. The examples/wicket example is a port of the hotel booking example to wicket.
Err, I linked them in the blog post on the word . We're linking all the slides from Seam talks at JBossWorld here.
