Excellent, thanks to all involved! Is there a migration guide document from 1.2.1.GA, or is this not required?

[jnorris10]

I guess I mean is there any migration details other than the JSF 1.2 requirements (detailed here: http://docs.jboss.com/seam/1.3.0.ALPHA/reference/en/html/gettingstarted.html#d0e2434)?

[christian.bauer]

AFAIK nobody started a migration guide and it should be mostly drop-in compatible with 1.2.1. This alpha is a good start so we can get everyone to contribute whatever is missing in that picture. Someone open a wiki page (I refuse to use JSPWiki :)

Thanks for the release, Norman!

Here's a quick rundown on what's new:

* Migration to JSF 1.2 / JBoss 4.2 / JSF RI
* JBoss EL
* Charting support in Seam PDF, via JFreeChart
* Groovy components!
* Asynchronous dispatcher strategies, including java.util.concurrent and Quartz in addition to EJB3 timer service
* support for HTTP BASIC and DIGEST authentication in Seam security
* <raise-event/> in pages.xml
* page parameter validation
* improvements to SeamTest, including integration testing outside JSF lifecycle
* extension point for integration with non-JTA transaction environments
* new Wiki example!

and about 100 bugfixes ;-)

Any chance some of these bug fixes will get backported to a Seam 1.2.X release? I (of course) would like the new features and bug fixes of Seam 1.3.0, but I can't necessarily upgrade my entire infrastructure to get the bug fixes. We're probably going to be on JBoss 4.0.4-4.0.5 for a quite a while.

Thanks,
Brad Smith

The 1.3 documentation has a section detailing how to run Seam 1.3 on JBoss 4.0.5. It isn't the preferred way, but it should let you use almost everything in Seam 1.3.

And a Trinidad - Seam example :p

Hmm. I'm not seeing the class org.jboss.seam.core.ConversationPropagation in Head, and this is causing compilation errors for me after todays update from CVS (most recently, just a minute ago). Am I doing something wrong or is there something that still needs to be checked in?

[atao]

Where is ConversationPropagation?

I just updated from CVS, and when I try to build seam, I got error "ConversationPropagation cannot be resolved".
I tried to find it, but was unable.

[gavin.king]

Its there now, but I'm in the middle of a refactor that will take a couple of days. So I recommend working against 1.3 alpha for now, until I'm done with my refactorings.

[christian.bauer]

Of course CVS shouldn't be broken. But it is to be expected from time to time, so please don't post immediately after an update but wait a few hours. Also, open a new thread, this one is better left to discuss the release.

Hello,

I have created Maven packages for Seam 1.3.0.ALPHA.
I haven't updated dependencies, so maybe there can be some problems.

See http://software.softeu.cz/seam/

Hi,
to use the Seam 1.3.ALPHA with Maven (softeu) there are problems: I took a fresh maven generated project and updated the version in the pom.xml to

<seam.version>1.3.0.ALPHA</seam.version>

Here is the exception I got when I run the project with mvn jetty:run

[INFO] Jetty server exiting.
