If the forums are any indication, there's quite a bit of interest in the Seam community for adding Flex interfaces to Seam applications. Members of the seam community have stepped forward and put together some interesting examples of Seam and Flex working together, and that's been good enough for our more ambitious users. But now it's time to make that integration a bit more formal. So with that, we've added the first round of Flex support to Seam.

Before I dig into the a Fusion example, I wanted to show current integration with Drools5 Templates. Rule templates are helpful when you have a number of rules which follow some sort of pattern(s). In addition you can use templates when you have reoccurring hard-coded values in your rule patterns or actions. The Seam numberguess example is not the best example for rule templates however is good enough for a simple example.

The Seam Drools5 Branch contains additions to Seam for interactions with the Drools5 API. Here I will show how the existing numberguess example was changed to use Drools5:
