Status of Seam 3 on Glassfish?

[as6o]

What exactly is the status of Seam 3 on Glassfish v3?  Are the modules verified on Glassfish before release or is everything tested only on JBoss?  I remember reading somewhere (I don't remember where) that there is an issue in Glassfish v3.0.1 and Glassfish v3.1 (which is unreleased) was needed.  Does this sound familiar?  In any case I had a lot of problems getting the Security Module and its dependencies running on Glassfish.  It'd be nice to get a clear understanding of Seam 3's compatibility and priority on the other popular open source application server.

After being forced to switch to JBoss because of the issues I kept having with the Seam 3 modules on Glassfish I must say that I really miss Glassfish.  I've used JBoss 4 and earlier and going back to it (I'm running JBoss 6 now) I still find JBoss to be slow, cranky, and hot deploys from Eclipse while developing appear to work about 50% of the time (last night I had a hard time cleanly killing off the JBoss instance after it kept failing to hot deploy).  I'll continue to keep using JBoss for now and will report any issues I find but it'd be nice to move back to Glassfish.

Seam 3 is looking great and with the Stocking Stuffer release is becoming usable.  It would be nice if there was a page stating what modules worked and have been tested on which application servers and list what issues there currently are.

Thanks,

Aaron, currently I don't believe any of the modules work on Glassfish. Many modules have a glassfish build profile for examples to be tried on glassfish though. There are a few issues with the CDI integration on Glassfish which need to be fixed before Seam 3 will be usable on Glassfish. We're working with the Glassfish team with those issues and expect them to be fixed with 3.1, unfortunately, the last I heard, those fixes will not be applied to 3.0.1 unless requested by a customer with a support contract.

Thanks for the update!  Should current pre-releases of 3.1 work?  If not, is there a bug or ticket that can be tracked to follow the progress of whatever is needed to get Seam 3 to work on Glassfish?

Please read the thread:

I don't know about any open Glassfish ticket (jira issue) regarding Seam3 (mainly Seam Solder), but you can track progress on 'Cannot use Solder in Glassfish 3.1'
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SOLDER-47

I have not tried for a couple of weeks, but Pete Muir said things should be good (just found out today).  Best bet is to try the latest promoted build of GF 3.1 and see what happens.  If there still problems please report them :)

We are narrowing in on a solution. We hope to have this resolved any day now. Stay tuned.
