SeamFramework.org Alpha Test

[gavin.king]

For the past few months we've been developing a Wiki-based collaboration platform using Seam. This will be the foundation of seamframework.org, and will also be released as Seam Wiki when we're happy that it is really solid. Our first test case for the Wiki was http://in.relation.to.

Now that we've got the forum functionality working, we've put up an alpha test site at:

http://alpha.seamframework.org:9999/

Please try it out and help us find bugs and instability in the platform!

Any data will be preserved in the final system, so if you find the time to help us migrate pages from the jboss.org wiki to the new wiki, your time won't be wasted!

I want to say thanks so much to Christian for all his hard work on this, and James Cobb for the graphic design.

Hopefully, you guys will find the new forum a whole lot more satisfactory than this one :-)[/url]

Note that you'll need to register at the new site before you can post or create wiki pages.

I would see the captcha is too hard to guess. I succeeded in the third try :)

I hate how this Jboss forum doesn't allow you to edit your posts and doesn't sort the drop-down menus in the search screen. horrible.

Happy Holidays!

http://alpha.seamframework.org:9999/ is not working. Is the server down?

[pmuir]

It's working for me :)

The hibernate.org forum has a good credit point system feature, can we also have that feature in seamframework.org forum to motivate others to answer questions?

Thanks in advance.

It worked from home this morning but not from office. Not sure why, possibly it's blocked but simply getting "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" with IE7 and "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at alpha.seamframework.org:9999" with Firefox. Possible firewall issue not sure.

If I navigate to http://alpha.seamframework.org/ from work I see the equivalent to the in.relation.to home page...

When I ping alpha.seamframework.org from work, I get 213.239.194.141 response as the IP. When I ping alpha.seamframework.org:9999, I get 'ping request could not find host'.

Is there an alternative way to access this site???

[christian.bauer]

No, it's on port 9999 for now. Company security policies that filter outgoing TCP connections by port are stupid.

Where can I find the code for the new Seam Forums?

How can I plug this into an existing application?

I have an inventory management system based on Seam 2.0 and I would love to add a built in discussion forum for this application.

[christian.bauer]

It's in CVS in examples/wiki/. However, I doubt that you can take any piece out of that and just plug it into another application.

How about including the whole thing and only exposing the forum inside my layout?

I would like to attempt this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[thejavafreak]

I can't figure out whether it uses Richfaces or Icefaces? Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance

I need a BB system too and if this isn't plugable then I will have to write my own. And that sounds silly.
Probably the right thing to do anyhow as I want to use my own users credentials...
Ho Hum.

Having complex parts of Seam applications pluggable would be fantastic.

I also like to see best practices on building larger applications based on smaller reusable modules.

Wouldn't it rock to be able to include seam-forum.jar and wire it up with components.xml into custom applications.

I already use seam security. I would just control access and users from there.

From a easily reusable example I can see other building their own and sharing.

Imagine a webmail frontend, chat interface, calendar.

My current application is also one big ear with one jar that contains all of my custom code.

I would love to break my own application up in this way. Does anyone have any advice or best practices references?
