1. Go to the Seam getting started road map and follow the install instructions exactly, don't deviate: http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossseam/gettingstarted 2. Read the Seam documentation before you do anything. 3. Work through every example, understanding each piece. 4. Subscribe to this forum and read every post. 5. Post questions if you can't get you answer from 1,2 or 3. I wish I had done that Seam has a steep learning curve, but it promises great benefits and the rewards of faster development in the end. You've got to really study it, especially if you are new to EJB 30, annotations and JSF. Here are the docs: http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossseam/docs Hope this helps.
