The integration work resulted in a preview release last summer, then
we waited for RE to stabilize and GA. I checked two weeks or so ago,
and Jozef had already upgraded the Seam integration code to compile
and run against RE GA 1.0.
That's right. I am trying to keep RESTEasy version
in sync. We currently
have RESTEasy 1.0.1.GA in trunk
There is a chapter in the Seam reference documentation that describes
the integration and features:
http://docs.jboss.com/seam/2.1.1.GA/reference/en-US/html/webservices.html...
The remaining issues range from trivial to major, however, there is
not much critical functionality missing. Jozef, are you aware of
anything that has not already been reported in JIRA?
Well, as far as I remember all
the bugs I have seen in forums, etc. are
in JIRA.
We bundle these activities under the "WS" component in Seam JIRA:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM/component/12310823

The code is in Seam trunk which is the 2.1.x release line. So now that
RE GA is here we would certainly welcome any help on ironing out the
remaining issues. Have a look at the reported stuff in JIRA and see if
you like to pick something - even if it's assigned to me ;)
I will go through the list again as well and see if there is anything
missing and maybe set some priorities. Jozef, let us know what your
status/plans are.
I am working on Seam+RESTEasy integration as a part of my
university
thesis. I am focusing more on new features rather than bug fixing as
this is more interesting for university however I was fixing some bugs
as well. The plan is to implement following things:
* REST API for application framework - I am working on a component that
exposes CRUD API to manipulate database entities (using Seam's home and
query components)- I have some working prototypes already, working on
details now.
* Exception mapping in pages.xml
* Facelets XHTML mapping
Furthermore, I am planning on creating a sample application
demonstrating Seam+RESTEasy integration. It will be a simple todo app
exposing REST API.
For the future and more elaborate Seam/REST integration work: There
are some great ideas floating around, mostly things people have been
discussing directly or posting on some mailing list or another. My
opinion has been so far that we get the basic stuff working in Seam
2.1.x and then wait for the Web Beans RI to stabilize and start with
the more advanced REST stuff (like XHTML representation mapping with
Facelets) in Seam 3.
