Seam with physically separated Web and App layers

[utdrew]

All of the information I can find seems to indicate that Seam webapps run on a single web/app server with a separate physical database layer. However, my company runs webapps using a 3-tiered WAD design where we have 3 physically separate machines.

What I'm wondering is whether it's possible to use Seam's injection capabilities across the tiers (i.e. inject a service object from the app server (machine 1) to the web server (machine 2) and also whether Seam can continue to propogate persistence state in this sort of environment (avoiding hibernate lazy loading exceptions)? There wouldn't be any problem with running JBoss/Seam on the web and app machines.

Thanks,

Drew

No, Seam apps run in a single jvm or cluster.

Is there another JBoss technology that I could use to address my need or am I going to need to do the remote lookups/etc myself?

Thanks,
