As if EE6 wasn't novel and confusing enough with the change of names
like Web Beans to CDI, EJB Lite and new web/full profiles concept,
etc.� Now we have some presumably new product offerings from JBoss:<br><br><a href="http://www.jboss.com/pdf/JBbyRH_WFK_Datasheet.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.jboss.com/pdf/JBbyRH_WFK_Datasheet.pdf</a><br>
<br>This one comes from out of nowhere: GWT, RichFaces, Struts, Spring,
but no Seam.� No Seam.� And I thought that RichFaces was an AJAX
component library for JSF.� But no mention of JSF in the datasheet.�
Fantastic.<br><br>
Oh but wait....<br><br>"Along with leading JBoss technologies Hibernate and Seam,<br>JBoss Web Framework Kit will be included in Red Hat Java<br>Enterprise Edition application server solutions, JBoss<br>Enterprise Application Platform and JBoss Enterprise Web<br>
Platform to provide a complete, integrated environment<br>that supports any type of Java application. For deployments<br>that use the Apache Tomcat component of JBoss<br>Enterprise Web Server, JBoss Web Framework Kit can be<br>
easily added to help round out any lightweight Java application<br>architecture."<br><br>I thought EJB Lite and web profile in EE6 was "lightweight", no?� Or not "light" enough?� Because Tomcat starts up so fast.<br>
<br>So is JBoss/Redhat trying to gobble up some of SpringSource's customers and market share and thus boost revenue?<br><br>Seam can integrate with Spring as was shown in SiA book.� So why isn't Seam included in this new JBoss WFK?<br>
<br>And does Redhat JEE app server mean JBoss 6 AS?� And if yes, does
that mean JBoss 6 includes this WFK?� Is it available in the current AS
