1. Re: Seam + JSF + EJB3 + GWT example application
robjellinghaus May 1, 2007 4:18 AM (in response to robjellinghaus)This has been updated, and the demo is now a lot nicer:

There is also an explanatory article:

All comments welcome :-)
Cheers!

2. Re: Seam + JSF + EJB3 + GWT example application
tzman May 2, 2007 5:35 PM (in response to robjellinghaus)Will these examples run under JBoss? I had a few problems deploying them, after a little googleing I found some comments about some incompatibilities.
If it isn't anything you have heard of I can look into it a bit more. -
3. Re: Seam + JSF + EJB3 + GWT example application
dxxvi May 3, 2007 10:07 AM (in response to robjellinghaus)Just my curiosity: what is the point of using GWT with the combination of (Seam + JSF)?
I looked at the Kitchen Sink application and it seems to me that I have all those components / widgets in JSF / RichFaces / Ajax4jsf (except the vertical tab bar :) ).
To me (maybe I'm totally wrong), using GWT is like writing a web application using only JSP pages where methods of various objects are called to do the business logic (i.e. it's not a MVC model). Do you think the same as I do or I am wrong here? -

robjellinghaus May 3, 2007 1:40 PM (in response to robjellinghaus)I just tried replying to this, but got bitten by login issues. My apologies if you see this twice.
tzman: yes, this does not yet build under JBoss. I was planning to wait for the release of Seam 1.3 before tackling the JBoss issues, since Seam 1.3 will require JBoss 4.2RC which includes JSF 1.2 -- and the GWTJSF integration requires JSF 1.2.
dxxvi: Yes, I can well believe that the current demo includes no GWT widgets that are not already part of Ajax4JSF / RichFaces. It is very much a matter of taste which you use. I personally LOVE stepping through the Java debugger on the client side -- not to mention client-side code refactoring -- which is only possible with GWTJSF. But your mileage may vary. From my perspective. GWTJSF is a complete MVC app on the client side alone, with model-modification RPC calls going to and from the server.
Cheers!

5. Re: Seam + JSF + EJB3 + GWT example application
tzman May 3, 2007 2:48 PM (in response to robjellinghaus)We are not looking at GWT as a replacement for JSF + RichFaces + Ajax4Jsf. They are merely another set of components that can be plugged into a page. As Rob stated, having the ability to debug via Java is a nice advantage.
