I'm not sure if this is the only problem, but the Seam Portlet is built with Portlet Bridge 2.x

This version is only supported to run against JSF 1.x, whereas JBoss AS7 uses JSF 2.x by default for all JSF applications.

Thanks for your reply Ken Finnigan,                       If i want to import Seam portlet in GateIn with Jboss AS7 where do i get the working example which runs in JSF2.x.  please suggest your idea.

There is no Seam 2.x portlet example that runs on JSF 2.x, as Portlet Bridge 3.x doesn't provide support for Seam 2.x

Hi Ken Finnigan ,            I am new to GateIn and Seam,  It might be simple question sorry to ask again and again,  Does PortletBridge support Seam 3.x ?  if so i did't find any examples in portlet bridge 3.x download section.  If i want to deploy Seam portlet in GateInJboss AS7 do i need to follow the following version  JSF2.x,  PortletBridge 3.x and Seam 3.x     where is the example available?  please suggest your idea.

Portlet Bridge 3.2.x supports CDI, as described here: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/PBR/CDI+Portlet+Development

It's still fairly new so there may still be issues that haven't been resolved, but for what has been tested it works as expected.

As it supports CDI, it would also support Seam 3.x as that is built using CDI.

In terms of a Seam Portlet example, there is not one for Seam 3.x. Though Portlet Bridge does have a CDI example portlet that could be extended for Seam 3: https://github.com/portletbridge/portletbridge/tree/master/examples/cdi-portlet

Thanks for your reply Ken,  If i Use CDI  will it support Drools and Jbpm as my project going to use Drools and Jbpm later so i need to consider  that point.  can you suggest your idea.

[kenfinni]

Do you mean will CDI support Drools? I believe there is the ability to use Drools with CDI, but I'm not sure as it's not something I've done.

But even if there isn't direct support, it should still work as CDI is just Java classes.
