HIGHLIGHT

Seam in Action

offers a practical, in-depth look at JBoss Seam, an exciting new

Java application framework used to build rich, web applications.

DESCRIPTION

Seam is poised for the same sort of success Struts enjoyed 5 years ago. By combining

the energy of the open-source Java community, the gold-plated name

recognition of Seam and Hibernate creator Gavin King, and the full backing of

JBoss and Red Hat, Seam has both the technical strength and marketing support

it needs to break away from the pack.

Seam in Action presents a thorough Seam tutorial along with practical techniques

for combining Seam with the other industry-standard technologies Java

developers use daily. It’s the first book to cover Seam 2.0, a significant upgrade

from Seam 1.2 released in late 2007. Seam in Action is also first to cover Seam’s

integration with the very popular Spring framework. Author Dan Allen presents

an unbiased, in-depth view of Seam from outside the walls of Red Hat/JBoss,

focusing on such topics as Spring integration and deployment to alternative

application servers to steer clear of vendor lock-in. By the end of the book,

readers will gain not only a deep understanding of Seam, but also come away

with the confidence to teach the material to others.
