Seam/Portlet Architecture and Deployment

[stephanos]

Hi guys,

I am planning to use Seam within a portlet (for the JBoss Portal to be more specific). Basically I am just trying to figure how to construct the architecture for that.

Should I put all the business logic and persistence stuff into the portlet or should (can?) I seperate that stuff into multiple jars? I am thinking about the options in regards to performance, ease of delopyment and basically if it simply works.

Regards,
Stephan

Since the portal will be aggregating your seam application and other portlets you have installed, I would write the Seam app as a standalone then use it as a portlet. As far as performance, I am unsure. We are just finishing up with the Seam bridge that will allow this. It is working now and we will hopefully have a preview release within the next few weeks.
