Editorial Reviews

The lightweight, open source JBoss Seam framework has a passionate following, and its substantial support for Java EE 5 standards will only increase its popularity. This book will help you master JBoss Seam in the context of real projects.

You'll discover Seam's strengths (and limitations) hands-on, as you build multiple Java EE web applications. Most notably, you'll create a product catalog: first, simple data entry components and then increasingly sophisticated features, from AJAX to advanced pageflow and business process modeling. (To which end, the authors carefully introduce JBoss's new Java Business Process Management [jBPM] toolset, which offers remarkable potential.)

Along the way, Jim Farley covers everything from installation and configuration to components, security to Seam's innovative "conversation model." You'll walk away with a deep understanding of how Seam works -- and how it can work for you. Bill Camarda, from the October 2007 Read Only
