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.
