This was a (nice) piece of value add that JBoss EJB3 provided, and Seam took advantage of. This was not just "nice", but essential to the usability of Seam. Without it, we can't say that Seam requires no XML. Basically, I'm not happy to say that Seam supports JBoss5 until this feature is back in. So if you want Seam to be in the next release of JBoss5, we need it back in *now*. This is important. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4139830#...
