I have created a new Tip on the Seam Wiki that describes my traumas with DataModel, and Damian's valuable insight that fixed it. I hope this will be of use to others in the future. However, I still think that active separation of wheat from chaff by a knowledgeable moderator would be very useful - though I do understand that it may be an unacceptable burden on those already under quite a heavy load. Please let me know if the content is acceptable. Thanks. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4112594#...
