The response has spawned a few more of my own questions and I have included the response in my conversation/further questions below. The original question is in red, and the response is also called-out and in red. The continuation question is in green. There are a couple new questions posed after the continued (green and red) question portion.

Is there an equivalent in CDI (Weld) that will allow them to continue using remoting? If not, what alternatives do we offer in it's place?</span><br><span style="color: #ff0000;" data-mce-style="color: #ff0000;">Mailing List Response: You can take a look at Errai, or simply use JAX-RS.</span></div><div><span style="color: #003300;" data-mce-style="color: #003300;">Q: Seam 3 appears to have it's own remoting functionality available much like Seam 2.

However, I feel that if the customer moves from Seam 2 remoting to Seam 3 remoting they will incur a smaller amount of work than if they were to consider adopting a new technology such as Errai or JAX-RS as you've suggested as best cases. While they are interested in adopting a better or more appropriate technology for their application, they still want to rapidly make the move to Seam 3/Solder/CDI/Weld in the meantime and I think this sets them up nicely for migrating the rest of the technologies over. What the customer is extremely interested in knowing is if these technologies now sitting as-is (3.1 Snapshot I believe) can be said to be categorically stable and functional currently for this sort of temporary use case with full knowledge they aren't supported moving forward? If so, are there any migration documents available? If no migration documents are available, do you have anywhere you can point me in order to get a head start on creating one myself for our client? Do you agree with this short-term-win approach?</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: #ff0000;" data-mce-style="color: #ff0000;">2) The customer currently uses Seam-managed Hibernate Sessions: he guesses they are not supported in CDI and wishes to know what is the best way to go moving forward?
