[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: While Seam is great, is any weakness of this framework?

[ASavitsky]

The only complaint I have about Seam so far, is the recommended packaging for Tomcat. The Microcontainer-based packaging places very serious restrictions on the application (for example, try passing the Tomcat-configured DataSource into the MC-based app) that makes this configuration not acceptable for production environments, leaving us Tomcat users feeling like second-class citizens.

There are alternatives (using a JTA implementation), but they are not documented anywhere, so whoever decides to take this route is basically on their own (it took me awhile to get my environment running). Heck, some of the open-source JTA implementations are even coming from JBoss itself (JBoss Transactions), so why not dump the MC abomination altogether and use JBoss JTA/JCA modules directly, instead?
