Calling a seam component from URL

[nageshyakkanti]

Hi All,

I have situation where in i need to call a seam component from a third party application.

I am using seam and Icefaces combination.

In my case i need to call a seam componet, but i do not have .xhtml file associated with the same.

Is there any way by which we can directly call a seam component using a http request.

Thanks and Regards
Nagesh

YourComponent comp=(YourComponent)Component.getInstance("componentname");

to do this you have to configure components.xml file first.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<components xmlns="http://jboss.com/products/seam/components"
xmlns:core="http://jboss.com/products/seam/core"

That will allow you to roll your own servlet to interact with the component. Alternatively you could look at the WebServices section in the Seam docs (eg. @WebService and @WebMethod)

Another alternative is to use Seam Remoting, it uses an xmlrpc-like protocol and is very simple to use.
