In Relation To

On Monday afternoon I will be talking about Seam and Web Beans at the UK JBoss User Group in London.

I'm pleased to say we have released Seam 2.0.2.GA.

JBoss.org/Dev Fu have just posted the audio from my JBoss World presentation - Introduction to Seam. You can find the slides here.

We just finished uploading Seam 2.0.2.CR1 to SourceForge and the Maven repository - so go get it!

I'll highlight a few of my favourite features of Seam 2, then go on to discuss how where Seam will go over next year, and finally introduce Web Beans.

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.

I learnt a lot about JBoss Tools whilst writing a quick demo for my talk at Javapolis, and I wanted share a favourite feature with you - hot deploy of Seam components. Now, of course, this works with any seam problems if you set it up right, but JBoss Tools makes it /seamless/ :-). It removes the need for calling out to ant to copy the files to the application server - this makes it so quick you don't even see the progress bar pop up!

Well, help is on hand. Jacob Orshalick wrote an excellent article on nested conversations which he seems to be making into bit of series with this latest blog posting on conversation timeouts.
