Seam Usage

[yinglcs1]

I often read seam is the 'glue' between jsf and hibernate.
I wonder does Seam allow me to use GWT instead of jsf?

[gavin.king]

No. In theory seam could support other view tiers than JSF, but GWT is not one that would make a lot of sense.

Thanks. Can you please advice what is the best way to develop a AJAX application using SEAM?

jsf with ajax4jsf?
jsf with icefaces?
jsf with rcfaces?
any others?

jsf with ajax4jsf seems to work well with it.

You can even do some nice javascript validation with it.

Not to mention seam has remoting -

that is an extremly easy way of doing it, unless you are wanting to do partial page updates.
