Hi, Seam-gen currently doesn't support non-EJB3 like POJO components, but that is planned for the future. Like you, I haven't moved to the EJB3 space yet as I am more comfortable with tomcat and just want a lighter environment. If you insist on Seam-gen now, I guess EJB3 is your only option. Otherwise, you could look at the two examples in the distribution: jpa, hibernate2 that shows how to deploy Seam applications to a tomcat (which requires jboss microcontainer).
