Arbi,<br><br>Not to say that you don't have some points which are worth considering, but this (weld-dev, seam-dev) really isn't the right place for discussion about product offerings. This would be more appropriate on the forums or even on the more general JBoss forums where people actually have a say in where these stacks are defined. Because as you pointed out, this has nothing to do with Seam.<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>

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 6.0.0.M1 download?<br><br>
