Seam in Action

This book offers a thorough exploration of Seam, focusing on practical techniques and integration with other Java technologies, including Spring.

In Seam in Action, readers are introduced to JBoss Seam, a powerful Java application framework designed for building rich web applications. This book offers a comprehensive tutorial that not only covers the fundamentals of Seam but also delves into practical techniques for integrating it with other widely-used technologies in the Java ecosystem. As developers seek to create more dynamic and responsive web applications, understanding Seam's capabilities becomes increasingly essential.

The author, Dan Allen, provides an unbiased perspective on Seam, drawing from his experience outside the confines of Red Hat and JBoss. This approach allows him to focus on critical topics such as the integration of Seam with the popular Spring framework and how to deploy applications on alternative servers to avoid vendor lock-in. By the end of Seam in Action, readers will have a well-rounded understanding of Seam, equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to teach others about this innovative framework.

Notably, this book is the first to cover Seam 2.0, which brings significant upgrades from its predecessor, Seam 1.2. With the backing of the open-source community and the recognition of its creators, Seam in Action positions itself as a vital resource for Java developers eager to leverage the full potential of Seam in their web applications.
