Description:The only viable alternative to the most popular and adopted open source and lightweight enterprise Java-based Spring Framework, JBoss Seam is the up and coming challenger to Spring. JBoss Seam offers more adherences to Java EE 5 standards than does Spring, and is a key selling point to many prospective Seam developers and users. The first and only book of its kind, Practical JBoss Seam Web 2.0 Development, is a series of practical application scenarios which demonstrates the nature of the new open source lightweight Java EE 5 (JSF-EJB3)-standards based JBoss Seam framework, its efficacy and its limitations. The scenarios/cases will be chosen to demonstrate specific elements of the framework (e.g., basic web application development, rich web clients with AJAX, etc.). Real-world cases will be used where possible.
