JBoss Releases First Seam Framework

Java Server Faces + EJB 3.0 + jBPM = JBoss Seam Framework

JBoss released the Seam framework that aims to unify the component models of JSF and EJB 3.0, providing a streamlined programming model for web-based enterprise applications.

Let's point out some promisses:

• Seam introduces the notion of declarative application state management for POJO (Plain Old Java Objects) components;
• Seam components are stateful and contextual, with a well-defined container-managed lifecycle. This approach helps solve a whole class of bugs and performance problems that plague web applications with non-linear or multi-window navigation;
• Seam makes business process management a first class construct, by fully integrating JBoss jBPM into this state management architecture. It's never been this easy to write applications with complex workflows and complex user interactions;
• Finally, Seam makes it easy to test Java EE 5 applications in unit test frameworks by leveraging the JBoss Embeddable EJB3 container.

It looks good don't you think?
