Hello,

We started a new project development using seam-gen and selected EAR option because we intended to use EJBs for service layer. But soon we realized that we badly need hot deployment feature so we switched to Seam JavaBeans instead of EJBs. Our packaging remained EAR.

Is it a bad idea to have an EAR packaging knowing that there is no EJB in use (as of now)?
Any advantages/disadvantages that experienced people foresee now?
What can be compelling reasons not to switch to WAR packaging?

Thanks in advance.
