In general we use the Awesome pattern, and other times we go for the Really Great pattern.  Sadly the Well That Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time anti-pattern sometimes finds its way into the code.  Nobody's perfect, you know. :)

Hi,

are you referring to design patterns (in which case you might wanted to ask what time is it :-) - Italian joke), or to naming conventions for components etc. like the ones they have in RoR?

These are the types of comments that make ppl view the Seam framework as a joke, esp. when the comments come from the core devs.

The most popular patterns I've come across in Seam apps are the following:

Bijection (a variation of dependency injection - dynamic, not static, includes injection+outjection+disinjection)

Data access object (DAO)

Factory component pattern (@Factory)

Manager component pattern (@Unwrap)

RaiseEvent/Observer (@RaiseEvent/@Observer)

DataModel outjection (@DataModel)

DataModelSelection injection (@DataModelSelection and @DataModelSelectionIndex)

the last two may not be officially design patterns but they are patterns specific to Seam that I've used extensively.  That's all I can think of for now...  somebody else pitch in?
