Product Description

Discover JBoss Seam: the Unified Framework for Simpler, More Powerful Web Development

JBoss Seam integrates EJB 3.0 and JSF components under a unified framework that simplifies and accelerates Java EE web development. Now, JBoss Seam’s project leader and technology evangelist take you inside this powerful new technology, showing exactly how to put it to work.

Michael Yuan and Thomas Heute show how JBoss Seam enables you to create web applications that would have been difficult or impossible with previous Java frameworks. Through hands-on examples and a complete case study application, you’ll learn how to leverage JBoss Seam’s breakthrough state management capabilities; integrate business processes and rules; use AJAX with Seam; and deploy your application into production, one step at a time. Coverage includes

How JBoss Seam builds on–and goes beyond–the Java EE platform

• Using the “Stateful Framework”: conversations, workspaces, concurrent conversations, and transactions

• Integrating the web and data components: validation, clickable data tables, and bookmarkable web pages

• Creating AJAX and custom UI components, enabling AJAX for existing JSF components, and JavaScript integration via Seam Remoting

• Managing business processes, defining stateful pageflows, and implementing rule-based security

• Testing and optimizing JBoss Seam applications

• Deploying in diverse environments: with Tomcat, with production databases, in clusters, without EJB 3, and more

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Very good book
Very good book. It gives good knowledge about how to write
applications in this framework. Many working examples are also
appreciated.

In the beginning authors explain what is Seam, and it is understood,
as Seam is much different than any other framework with similar
functionality. Seam is not meant for using it as "white box". It is
rather "black box", designed for just using it, without knowing inside
details. Because of this debugging Seam code ... Read More

Rating:

- Too short
Compared to other computer books this book is to shallow and does not cover the depths of Seam. I would like a more continous example throughout the book instead of a collection of small, rather trivial examples.

Rating:

- Very good introduction to Seam and what WebApp dev should be!
It's not a cookbook with ready made recipes. It gives a shallow but complete overview of the Seam framework features. That is important because if you don't know it exists you will never try to use it. Examples: XHTML validation tags for Hibernate, conversation state, and much more.

It's a must read to get a good start with Seam and to learn what WebApp development should have been from the beginning.

Rating:

- Excellent book on seam
Its a great book.. It difficult to learn Seam without this book.
It may be slightly dated, with Seam 2.0 coming out recently.
But per the author, there are not significant changes in the code
ie mainly config changes.
(eg they recommend JPA with tomcat instead of embedded server option
with tomcat)

Seam(and specifically seam-gen) still has some significant bugs/issues
to iron out(but workaround exists).

Rating:

- Good for Learning, Not as Good for Reference
This is a very good book for learning about SEAM, a web framework that I would consider one of the best for its simplicity and power. However, what this book is best at is teaching you the basics of SEAM (though is some areas, such as stateful navigation rules, it doesn't go deep enough).

Where this book lacks most is as a reference book. The reason for this is that many concepts are introduced well before the chapters that talk about them. When looking back at these concepts, I find ... Read More
