Integrating a 3rd-party-framework into Seam

[dlichtenberger]

Dear Seam Community,

I'm working on integrating the [fleXive] Java EE framework into Seam (2.0) applications. It consists of a EJB3 core and a set of JSF/Facelets components for rendering.

I got it working by copying the JAR libraries into the exploded-archives directory and modifying the deployment descriptors (application.xml, web.xml). The JSF components integrate flawlessly into existing Seam pages.

My question: Is there a more elegant way of integrating 3rd-party-libraries into Seam applications? I'm not very familiar with the Seam application build process, but I suspect that the exploded-archives folder will be cleaned on full rebuilds.

Cheers,

Daniel Lichtenberger

Just place the libraries in the lib/ directory and modify build.xml to include it?

Not sure what sort of integration you want?

Hi Pete,

thanks for the reply. I figured I could just modify the buildfile but thought there may be a common place to drop e.g. EAR libraries where they would be autodetected.

I added a target dependency in build.xml and it works fine.
