Resolving Seam components from JSF
Seam establishes a bridge between JSF and its own container by registering a custom
expression language (EL) resolver with the JSF 1.2 application runtime. The configuration
for this resolver is defined in the faces-config.xml descriptor in the Seam
core JAR file:
<faces-config>
<application>
<el-resolver>org.jboss.seam.el.SeamELResolver</el-resolver>
</application>
</faces-config>
When a Seam component name is used as the root—the first segment—of an EL
expression, Seam either locates or creates a component instance and makes it available
to the variable resolver. For instance, the EL resolver divides the expression
#{passwordBean.password} into the method getPassword() on a Seam component
named passwordBean. If the custom resolver cannot find a matching Seam
component, it passes the torch back to the default JSF variable resolver.
I don't have that xml snippet in my faces-config.xml. But the EL resolution all seems to work just fine.
Can somebody plz explain this (I am using Seam 2.0.2)?
And what exactly is the Seam container??
