Seam in Real World: Made with Seam

[techieexchange]

Hi Seam guys,

Are you interested to see the power and action of Seam framework in real world…..

Use GOOGLE advanced search (allinurl or inurl operators) to check websites that are developed with Seam.

Tip 1:

Use index tag to search

Example:

inurl:index.seam

Tip 2:

Use home tag to search

Example:

inurl:home.seam

You could also try some other default tags like debug, page, view etc.,

See here:

Cool my blog comes up second in the list when you search for inurl:home.seam :)

But the results are not that good:

25 for index.seam

32 for home.seam

That is some VERY LOW numbers. Please explain why I should choose a framework with that few live running sites?

[damianharvey]

Classic. There's even a p0rn site running Seam. Pass that onto your sales guys for sure.

Hi,
Thanks for your interest.

You should know that SEAM is a enterprise application framework, that means about 60-70% applications are mission critical and therefore only few sites are available online without any restrictions. On the other side lot of corporate giants have applications developed with Seam which are only allowed for restricted users inside their network.
Moreover Seam is just growing, i think about 50% applications are incubation/development stage, so we have wait for couple of months. Currently Seam become very popular but applications using Seam would take a little while. Also big companies are slowly switching over from JDK/JRE 1.3/1.4 to 1.5 which is a big move (takes atleast a year) for them, that means path-free to use Seam in their environment.

Seam team should share their comments on this issue (Real world Seam applications).

Guys don't get too upset. User's can change the extension used in URL mappings to *anything they like*. And I know that plenty of folks here use other URL mappings than *.seam.

[supernovasoftware.com]

I use *.xhtml, my applications are not listed in Google, and are restricted.

And I still haven't changed from .faces.

Just recently incorporated Seam - and it's awesome by the way.

No doubt, I don't see why you wouldn't change it. We deployed a very high profile real estate website (nearly 1M hits/day) using Seam and we used a alternate suffix.

I just read: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=45998

Where 37signals are mentioned and I came to think of a fundamental difference between the two companies:

- 37signals use the tool they develop (ruby on rails)
- JBoss develop a tool for others to use (seam)

Which kind of compares to:
- A blacksmith that happens to sell hammers (and optimizing the hammer design while using and testing it)
- A blacksmith that happens to sell a kind of hammer he doesn't use himself.

This just gives the wrong impression (and marketing material) for the last blacksmith.

And came to think:

- Why are we using this "c...." forum when we have a tool like seam at our hands?
- Why are JBoss not building real world applications and making som great marketing material to show off?

It's time for real world examples.

Take a look at
http://in.relation.to
and
http://alpha.seamframework.org:9999 (this last one is still under heavy development as the address suggests) for the new Seam infrastructure (of course built using the Seam stack).

Also, I know our consulting teams are out there building, and helping to build, real applications using Seam. However most companies aren't willing to discuss this in public.

Made with Seam: http://gamerdental.com/ . It's not up yet but it is based purely on JBoss Seam. Why would a dentist need Seam? We're going to have a patient login area, with all kinds of functionality, made easy with Seam. Seam's role-based security will be a help on that. And in the public areas, the ability to use Richfaces makes it much easier to have a modern looking interface, without needing to write Javascript.
