Hi pgrillo It is very possible to use Seam with just hibernate (Seam is written by one of the original hibernate people). The only downside of not using the ejb3 stuff is the stateless and stateful session beans, but these probably bereplaced by java beans that do exactly the same functionality (minus some transactional stuff and clustering functionality). So my recommendation is to use Seam as it works very well ontop of hibernate. These are my thoughts for what there worth.
