JBOSS SEAM FAQ - Can Seam be used in J2EE environment

dmartfw Feb 2, 2008 10:26 AM

I just wanted to verify if the following FAQ answer is still correct:

Q: Can I run Seam in a J2EE environment?

A: Yes, as of Seam 1.1, you can use Seam in any J2EE application server, with one caveat: you will not be able to use EJB 3.0 session beans. However, you can use either Hibernate or JPA for persistence, and you can use Seam JavaBean components instead of session beans.

Specifically the caveat mentions that you will not be able to use EJB 3.0 session beans. But the examples for Glassfish and OC4J seem to contradict this.

Is this FAQ still correct?

Thanks

OC4J 11 and Glassfish V2 are both JEE 5 certified. So, I'm not sure what you mean. (Also, we recently got Seam with EJB3 working in WebSphere, but no joy in WebLogic yet).

Pete...Thanks for the quick reply

I guess I just want to make sure that this statement found on the Product FAQ page is not valid for J2EE 5 certified application servers.

I know that both application servers are J2EE 5 certified. In fact we have a seam app running in OC4J with EJB 3.0 session beans - but we are having problems. I guess I just want to make sure that the above FAQ is not saying "if you use EJB 3.0 sessions beans outside of a JBOSS application server undesirable results may occur."

Should work. Post your problem, perhaps someone can help.

Have you looked at the oc4j chapter in the reference guide. It was recently updated and may have some more information for you problem. There are also new chapters for Websphere and Weblogic.

Although as Pete said EJB3 on Weblogic still has issues (not seam's) that keep it from working.
