EntityHome via seam-gen project and design patterns

[asookazian]

I noticed that the EntityHome class was extended by my CustomerHome class in my seam-gen project to support CRUD operations. In the hotel booking project, EntityHome class was not used (and it wasn't referenced in any of the other example SEAM project source codes).

As far as design patterns and best practices are concerned, how would a SEAM developer determine which is the best way of solving this entity related problem?

Why/when would you not use the EntityHome class?

...and where do I find some documentation in generall? I stumbled upon this in the forum. What is EntityHome and how to use it the right way for which case?

Thanks and Greeting GHad

Hi.

The contactlist example (examples\contactlist) demonstrates the Seam Application Framework (EntityHome etc.).

AFAIK the Seam Application Framework wasn't more used all over the examples because it was created after the creation of the examples.
