Seam 1.1 and Spring

[papick]

I read that it is now possible to deploy Seam even without the embeddable ejb3 server.

Is there any example for this configuration?

Would it be possible to use a datasource/ transaction manager configured in Spring and have it injected in the Seam context? I have a Spring based backend and would like to add Seam.

I have seen Spring integration at Variable resolver level, but what I need (and I believe many others) is a "we can use the existing backend" integration.

Any help/ comments/ flames on this one?

I believe the hibernate example app and new jpa example app both demonstrate seam without embedded ejb3.

Right. And you *can* use the existing backend. You need:

Needed: A JSF VariableResolver so that spring (or whatever) components can be injected into seam components.

Recommended: A spring factory of whatever to let you inject a Seam-managed persistence context (Hibernate session or EntityManager) into your existing DAOs.

I guess this is a frequent enough request that we should build a package with this stuff in it.
