model and action directories - treated not differently at al

[codelion]

According to build.xml the action and the model source directories both get compiled into the same jar directory.

So we're wondering: Is their separation just for clarity?

Don't see a difference in the build.xml ant way of exploding or deploying. Don't see a difference in the Eclipse way either.

Is there a difference they are treated anywhere?

Context: Switching project from Seam 1.2.1 to Seam 2. Looking at seam-gen, making example application, works greats.

Noticing model and action directories. Works fine. Very nice to update actions almost immediately with explode. Thanks! Understand (almost obviously) model doesn't allow immediate updating when exploding.

If you use the dev profile, everything inside action will be compiled into WEB-INF/dev

You're right. Property action.dir is overridden in the build-dev.properties file. I wouldn't have looked there unless you had pointed it out. Thank you.

I seem to see a difference with the way action classes are handled in seam-gened projects whether

- ear project (no special treatment) or

- war project (exploded in own directory).

Does that have to be that way by design, or is it just not implmented yet in seam-gen for ear?
