RichFaces 3.2.0.GA is out!

This is the second part of a series of blogs about Bean Validation. For a general introduction, read this entry first. This part focuses on constraint definition.

To make the feedback process on the specification draft more open, constructive and simple, we have opened a dedicated feedback forum.

This blog entry is a general overview of the Bean Validation specification. Future blog entries will follow and will dive into specific aspects of the specification.

A bug fix version of Hibernate Annotations and Entity Manager is out. In addition to a bunch of bug fixes, they bring some new features:

So you need to deploy to WebSphere, and you really want to take advantage of all the benefits of Seam including EJB3 - but your not sure where to begin?

The seam community site went live exactly one month ago, and already boasts more than 1000 registered members, with twenty-something people signing up every day. The new forum is buzzing, and we're starting to get lots of useful information up on the wiki.

One of my first tasks since starting at JBoss/Red Hat was to investigate and document container interoperability. What I found is what I expected - various tweaks, settings and library requirements depending on what container is being deployed to. These have more to do with specific server needs rather than anything Seam is requiring (mostly).

The last year we have been working full time on JBoss Tools and JBoss Developer Studio. One of the challenges we had were to add support for JBoss Seam in Eclipse. Similar to what the Seam team did for the underlying frameworks (JSF, EJB3, JPA, etc.) we had to do integrate/adjust for the various plugins that exists in the Eclipse family (WTP, JSF, Dali, etc.).
