The recording of the RichFaces and JBoss Developer Studio webinar has been posted here.

I'm giving a webinar on JSR-299 on Gassfish TV

I've posted the slides from my Seam 3 and Introduction to Web Beans sessions:

On May 7th at both 9:00 AM EST and again at 2:00 PM EST we will be having a webinar on how to use RichFaces and JBoss Developer Studio to develop Rich Internet Applications (RIA).

I'm pleased to announce the release of Web Beans (the reference implementation of JSR-299) 1.0.0.PREVIEW. This is our first feature complete milestone of the Java Contexts and Dependency Injection specification!JSR-299 specifies a set of services for the Java EE environment that makes applications much easier to develop. JSR-299 layers an enhanced lifecycle and interaction model over existing Java component types including JavaBeans and Enterprise Java Beans.

It's been a few months, and we're finally close enough on Seam 2.1.2 to push CR1 out for you guys. We don't have a ton of new features this time around. Instead, we've focussed primarily on bug fixes, stability and minor enhancments, with 165 JIRA items cleared. I'd really like to thank the Seam community as a whole for the participation levels we've seen in this release. We've seen an increase in the quality of the JIRA requests and an even bigger increase in the number of issues with patches and test cases. Seeing open source work is a beautiful thing.

What, you didn't think it was possible? Of course it is! Although the Seam development team encourages you to use Hibernate as the JPA provider, Seam is capable of working with any JPA provider. This entry will show you how.
