Can anyone provide a reference for seam in a financial / ban

[john.curtin]

Hi all,

We have a client who is very impressed with and interested in using Seam on our next development project but they are also concerned that the technology may be too 'new' to be stable and therefore safe to use in a banking environment. The applications that we're talking about are not trading systems or anything that performance sensitive - it's more back office applications that we're moving off of Powerbuilder.

If anyone would be willing to share their experiences with Seam in an existing production system it would be greatly appreciated!

I think that most problem that financial industry will face is that they already have/invested in an Appserver namely like Websphere and Weblogic. And most of them already have JDK 1.4 installed. This is a challenge because most of them don't want to replace their existing appserver and the JDK becaus Seam will require JSE 1.5 and JEE 5 to get it running. Other than that Seam is quite stable though it still has some minor bugs here and there.

Cheers,

I suggest you contact sales at Redhat/JBoss. I know there are financial institutions using Seam because I just got back from a week of training/consulting for a reasonable sized bank implementing multiple internal applications in Seam. I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to discuss Red Hat customers in a public forum, but I bet someone in sales could provide a reference.
