JBoss Seam is a popular open-source application framework for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5.0. For web application developers, a significant benefit of Seam is that it greatly enhances JavaServer Faces technology. This session explains key Seam features such as tight integration with EJB3, Hibernate and JPA integration, conversations, RESTful web pages, and so on.

This presentation introduces Seam web features from the perspective of a developer on the JavaServer Faces platform. It uses a lot of code examples and demonstrates live applications. It also discusses RAD tools for getting a Seam JavaServer Faces technology-based project started. Developers attending this presentation will leave with a basic understanding of exactly what Seam is, what problems it solves, and how to get started.
