Tom, you mentioned that I should look at the Seam portal demo, which is supposed to show the use of Seam + Portlet + Facelet, but the view files are JSP. The non-portal demo of Booking uses xhtml. Is the seam portal demo using Facelets ? Encouraging development: I had a little browse inside the Nuxos-5 ear, because it looks like it is using the whole combination of sought after technologies; i.e. seam + portlet + facelets + AJAX4JSF + jBPM. Perhaps their xml config files will provide some insight into how these APIs can work/fit together... BTW - JSF-Bridge - it's a proposed standardising of how the JSF and Portlet request lifecycles should be integrated. I assume JBoss are a player in this effort ? Thanks for the feedback - it really is appreciated. Ian View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3993615#...
