I can't believe this:
Have you ever stopped to think that you need to learn two frameworks to develop a non-trivial, database-backed, web application? Struts and iBatis; JSF and Hibernate; Tapestry and EJB3.0. Two frameworks. And then you have to learn to use them together. Why do we have to learn two frameworks just to retrieve Hello World from a database and show it in a view. Isn't that crazy?
Now you can use one framework, and use one component model. One. Isn't that nice?

Does this guy smoke crack? He's the co-author of Core JSF!
I've used Seam 1.2/2.0 for almost 2 yrs now and it's not just Seam in the development stack. It's typically JSF, Facelets, Seam, EJB3/JPA, Hibernate, Richfaces/ICEfaces. Which is one of the reasons the learning curve with Seam is very steep, b/c you need to learn so many frameworks simultaneously (depending on your experience).
Now you tell me how to write a Seam app using only one framework
.
Actually, tell me how to write any JEE app using only one framework
.
unbelievable....
