You've got two options: 1) If you want to write an app which JEE capabilities, tell people to get JBoss AS 4.2 - you just unzip it, start it up, and drop in your seam app. The download size will be about the same as Tomcat + Embedded + Your app. 2) Convert your app to not use JEE, but just JPA and deploy to plain tomcat (for an example see the jpa example, you still have to copy quite a few dependencies to Tomcat like javassist) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4100128#...
