JBoss Seam version compatibility

[popcorn09]

Hi,

In an existing application I am using, J2EE 1.4, JBoss 4.0.3SP1, MyFaces 1.1.4, Tomahawk 1.1.5 (SNAPSHOT), EJB 2.0. I am looking to evaluate Seam for use with some components of the application. Is there a version of Seam that works with these?

I can just find all resources saying J2EE 1.5 and EJB 3.0.

Please do tell me!
Thanks.

Seam does not really support EJB2. However, you can certainly call an EJB2 component from a Seam component.

I don't know of any reason why Seam won't work in JBoss 4.0.3 if you are not using EJB3 (but I still recommend the upgrade to 4.0.5). EJB3 is certainly not a requirement for Seam.

Also we don't recommend the use of Tomahawk (with or without Seam).

Which version of Seam would work with JBoss 4.0.3 SP1?

Why is that so?

Thanks

1.1.0.GA

It's buggy and low-quality and does arbitrary things with the JSF lifecycle. There are MUCH superior JSF libraries available.

Other that the opinion, can you lead me to any resources that certify that JBoss and tomahawk would not work together? What kind of problems it leads to and workarounds/fixes, if any?

Thanks.

Search this forum.

Well I cannot find any specific where things were breaking because of tomahawk. It is usually because people can't configure it correctly and ask for help here instead of asking on the myfaces mailing list. I do not think that is enough reason to certify a framework as poor quality.

I have tried IceFaces too. It was far more buggy.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your help.

I would recommend trinidad. I've had no problems with it & Seam.

I will try that once I port the existing app from tomahawk to trinidad. Thanks. :)
