JBoss Seam - an application framework for Java EE

Today I have listened to an interesting podcast at Java Posse. An interview with the hibernate founder Gavin King. He talks about Hibernate, its relation to EJB 3.0 and his newly published Java EE framework Seam which puts the JSF and EJB 3.0 technology together. Seam is very well documented and comes with many small examples as well as a real-world application. Based on standards the framework is worth to take a look at. From my point of view Seam might become very popular because of its ease of use and as already mentioned the use of standards. Most things in Seam are put together with annotations which makes it intuitively and very efficient to use.

Beyond the named aspects Seam is able to integrate workflow management facility with JBoss jBPM very easily.

By the way I would like to hint on the following podcasts which are really useful to learn and stay up to date in the area of software engineering (especially Model-Driven Software Development) and Java EE in general.

• Java Posse
• Tonabnehmer (in german)
