seam portability

[consuelofranky]

Woud you inform me if seam framework is portable to other application servers different from JBoss 4.x ?

Our company is interested in developping a great application in JBoss 4.x with seam and after that to operate the application on several application servers: BEA WebLogic, IBM Websphere and also JBoss 4.x.

We see certain difficulty for getting this portability because there are some propietary descriptors as jboss-app.xml that apparently mean a dependency of JBoss4.x

Thanks for your answers.

Seam 1.0 will run on any appserver that supports Java EE 5. All vendors are working on implementing EE5, but the ones who seem closest to having a mature implementation are JBoss, Oracle, Sun.

Don't worry about jboss-app.xml, all it is doing is telling JBoss to use scoped classloading, which is something all the other appservers do by default, AFAIK.

Thanks to Mr. Gavin King for your answer about Seam portability. We will develop our project in Seam on JBoss 4.x and we hope that the others application servers will be ready with EJB3.0 in some months for our production phase.

Congratulations for the quality of Seam framework.

I want to ask if you are planning some Seam example illustrating web services from EJB3.0 ?

Thanks

Yes, that is planned.
