Hello,
I am new with Seam, but I have one serious doubt about forcing dependency on Seam in the business model classes.
For example, I have this kind of project:
demo.par - just business model classes (POJOs) with EJB3 annotations
demo.ejb3 - business layer with data and business operations
demo.war - web interface based on the JSF.
demo.jar - Swing interface for the system.
I create demo.ear with files:
demo.par, demo.ejb3, demo.war and seam libraries.
As I understand, demo.par has to have annotations from Seam library. Is that mean that I have to include Seam library in my Swing application to make GUI application work? If this is the case I think this is not a good solution, because Seam is not logically connected with my Swing project.
If your app does not read the annotations, the annotation classes are not required in the classpath. Try it.
