Seam support for portlets has always been experimental: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SeamPortlet You can try to use it at your own risks (and eventually report the bugs). We have 2 choices: - We wait till everything works perfectly together and we restrict people from using new features and we release a thing every 2-3 years (Commercial style). - We release things when they are ready. Since we use a public SVN, it somehow gets released anyway. So JBoss Seam works, JBoss Portal works, the combination of the two has specified limitations, it shouldn't avoid users to use one or the other. See the work done on Ajax4JSF/RichFaces support for portlets, it's getting there (with a delay due on release cycle) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4070399#...
