Michael Yuan is a product manager and technical evangelist at Red Hat Inc. working on Seam, JBoss Application Server, and other middleware products. He contributes code to the Seam project and writes about Seam in his blog (http://www.michaelyuan.com/blog/). Before joining JBoss, Michael was a software consultant for mobile end-to-end applications. He published three books on mobile technologies, including Enterprise J2ME and Nokia Smartphone Hacks.
After being a contributor to the pre-JBoss Portal project, Thomas Heute was hired by JBoss Inc. in 2004. He started as a software developer in the JBoss Portal team, and then became the colead of the JBoss Seam project in 2005, with the vision to bring EJB3 closer to JSF. At the end of 2006 Thomas came back to pursue his duty among the JBoss Portal team to work on various tasks.

Discover JBoss Seam: the Unified Framework for Simpler, More Powerful Web Development
JBoss Seam integrates EJB 3.0 and JSF components under a unified framework that simplifies and accelerates Java EE web development. Now, JBoss Seam’s project leader and technology evangelist take you inside this powerful new technology, showing exactly how to put it to work.
Michael Yuan and Thomas Heute show how JBoss Seam enables you to create web applications that would have been difficult or impossible with previous Java frameworks. Through hands-on examples and a complete case study application, you’ll learn how to leverage JBoss Seam’s breakthrough state management capabilities; integrate business processes and rules; use AJAX with Seam; and deploy your application into production, one step at a time. Coverage includes
How JBoss Seam builds on—and goes beyond—the Java EE platform
• Using the “Stateful Framework”: conversations, workspaces, concurrent conversations, and transactions
• Integrating the web and data components: validation, clickable data tables, and bookmarkable web pages
• Creating AJAX and custom UI components, enabling AJAX for existing JSF components, and JavaScript integration via Seam Remoting
• Managing business processes, defining stateful pageflows, and implementing rule-based security
• Testing and optimizing JBoss Seam applications
• Deploying in diverse environments: with Tomcat, with production databases, in clusters, without EJB 3, and more

concise code examples, By
This review is from: JBoss Seam: Simplicity and Power Beyond Java EE (Paperback)
Yuan and Heute offer the Java programmer a very tempting route away from using the standard Java Enterprise Edition. As they point out, EE version 5 is an uncomfortable mixture of EJBs and JSF. The EJBs exist on the server side and encapsulate business logic. While the JSF is used, also on the server side, as a model-view-controller framework for Web work. In general, separating the MVC from the business logic is correct. But if you have to code EJBs and JSF together, then things get awkward. Code gets verbose and hard to structure.The book's alternative is Seam, which is meant to be a filler between EJBs and JSF. One nice aspect is that Seam is inherently stateful. For a Web user session, this is vital, and it's nice from the text to see state built into Seam, without you having to shoehorn it in. Perhaps the most persuasive parts of the book are the code examples. Granted, the authors wrote these to be as concise and elegant as possible. But if you accept that... Read more

EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO SEAM!, By
This review is from: JBoss Seam: Simplicity and Power Beyond Java EE (Paperback)
I needed to develop a project and fast. I purchased this book because I needed to get Seam up and running quickly. I found it very clearly written: with helpful examples and source code. It also provides a introduction to AJAX and has a few chapter on how to integrate AJAX with JSF and Seam. Very interesting! I recommend this book 100 percent!

Excellent book on seam, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: JBoss Seam: Simplicity and Power Beyond Java EE (Paperback)
Its a great book.. It difficult to learn Seam without this book.It may be slightly dated, with Seam 2.0 coming out recently. But per the author, there are not significant changes in the code ie mainly config changes. (eg they recommend JPA with tomcat instead of embedded server option with tomcat) Seam(and specifically seam-gen) still has some significant bugs/issues to iron out(but workaround exists). |
