Configuring Seam in Java EE 5

Seam contexts

• Stateless context
• Event (or request) context
• Page context

In a JSR-168 portal environment, the session context represents the portlet session.

• Business process context

Seam stores its own configuration and metamodel in the application context.

Seam component types

• EJB 3.0 stateless session beans
• EJB 3.0 stateful session beans
• EJB 3.0 entity beans
• JavaBeans
• EJB 3.0 message-driven beans

Seam events

• JSF events
• jBPM transition events
• Seam page actions
• Seam component-driven events
• Seam contextual events

Pageflow in Seam

There are two ways to define pageflow in Seam:

• Using JSF navigation rules - the stateless navigation model
• Using jPDL - the stateful navigation model

install guide

Seam 2.0是针对JavaServer Faces 1.2开发的，所以我们推荐在JBoss 4.2下使用Seam，因为它包含了JSF 1.2参考实现。

• Ensure that you have JDK 5.0 or above and Ant 1.6 properly installed (not Ant 1.7 beta).
• For Seam 1.1.0.GA, download JEMS installer 1.2.0.BETA3 and install JBoss AS 4.0.5 with the ejb3 profile selected. Do not install any other version of JBoss, and do not try to install JBoss using any other profile, not even the all profile.
• Start JBoss AS with the bin/run.(sh|bat) script.
• Download Seam and unpack it.
• Edit build.properties in your Seam directory and configure the path to your JBoss AS installation directory.
• In the jboss-seam/examples/booking directory, type ant deploy and check for any error messages.
• Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/seam-booking/ and register an account.
• In the jboss-seam/examples/dvdstore directory, type ant deploy and check for any error messages.
• Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/seam-dvd/ and register an account.
• In the jboss-seam/examples/issues directory, type ant deploy and check for any error messages.
• Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/seam-issues/ and register an account.
• Change the pages and/or source code in your the jboss-seam/examples/booking directory and redeploy the application by calling ant deploy - see how your modifications affect the application.
