Which repository structure with Seam (glassfish + netbeans)

[mouneyrac]

Hi,
I currently work on a project using EJB3-Facade-Session-Value Object-JSF, all running on Glassfish. I use Netbeans.
I would like to use Seam. However as I'm beginner there are some stuff I don't catch.

In my JEE5 project I've got an Enterprise Application which contains EJB Module + Web Application. All my back end is in EJB module and the front end is in the Web Application.

I tried Seam 2 JEE5 Booking example. Netbeans shows it as an Ant something project. It's probably an Ant Web Application. The JEE2 Booking looks to use EJB3. I don't understand why there is no EJB Module, no Enterprise Application. Are they not mandatory? If no why do EJB module or Enterprise application exist?

Thanks,
Jerome

Hi,

Have you executed the ant script (build.xml) in the booking example? If no, please execute it. You will then get an exploaded EAR which you can discover.

Hi Cyrill, thanks for you reply, but it doesn't explicitly answer my questions. Or miss something...

Its not a netbeans project so doesn't follow the netbeans structure. As Cyrill says, whats actually deployed is important.

In fact I'm more interested to understand why, than to understand how to use or to do.
The JE55 booking example in Seam 2 is a Netbeans project (nbproject folder) and is recognized by netbeans 6. The name of this project is Glassfish Booking, so I guess it has been created for running intoGlassfish.
So I wondered why this project structure looks so different for my other project structure (with EJB module part+ Web Application part)
Thanks for your answers anyway :)
