SOAP was too heavy-weight for my taste; instead I chose to implement the remoting protocol based loosely on the XML-RPC spec, with some minor changes to how object references were handled and the inclusion of a request context to carry additional stuff like the conversation ID. The intent was to make the protocol as lightweight and simple as possible to both keep network traffic minimal and to make it easy to implement remoting clients in other languages (ActionScript, etc).
As a side note, there is a more comprehensive web services strategy in the works for Seam which will enable calling Seam components via SOAP.

[JBoss Portal] - Re: User Input Req for 2.6 Usability and UI enhancements
by chris.laprun@jboss.com
Comments on the UI mockup:
- add content and collapse all should be within pages, probably in a reserved area at the top since it is confusing to find it outside of a page.
- edit mode should use icon, not text: using text is not consistent, takes too much space and can cause problems with respect to internalization
- edit page icon (triangle) does not make any sense, should use same icon as edit mode icon
- add page and login links should be put more in evidence
- do not assume that portals with use the navigation portlet with a tab metaphor: maybe the edit page command should be within the page? The add page command makes less sense when the tab metaphor is not used...
- allowing addition of content to any page is confusing in the tab interface and doesn't make that much sense when not using the tab interface (since the concept of page is not as visible)

[JBoss Seam] - Re: Simple but complete Maven or ant example project needed
by gcomnz
I have two projects that may help since I have actually approached it as a two-part issue:
1. Maintanence and control of JBoss AS configurations, I used Ant for this, just easier, and no point to Maven as far as I can see.
(BTW, I'm looking forward to getting a good look at JBoss AS 5, because I believe that some very simple things in the default installs could be improved to more quickly lead people to repeatable installation configurations that are low maint for development, continuous integration, QA and production environments, but I want to get a good look at the new system to see if some new ideas have already been incorporated.)
2. Seam Application build control with Maven 2 while also supporting automatic compilation in Eclipse and in place JBoss deployment.
Currently I have the following configured:
- Seam
- Facelets
- Tomahawk
- File upload
- JSP for dynamic CSS/JS when needed (paths, etc)
- JPDL
- I'm sure there's plenty more that I'm not thinking of this moment.
I am currently working to add:
- JAAS
- Request-level security filter
- Considering adding ADF, also not sure how nicely they play together
I'm not sure about best practices for classloading. I like most of the defaults, and have made good use of them. Lot of trial and error to come to the exact current config, but it seems to work out nicely (I'm relatively new to JBoss in general, my previous J2EE experience was all with the more obscure ATG Dynamo)
I will put it here or Wiki in a day or two, unless someone beats me to it with a better config (it wouldn't be hard ;D)
