Seam 3 space on JBoss Community
by Dan Allen
Two forces are converging that cause us to rethink where we are hosting Seam
3 project documentation and discussions. I'll enunciate those forces and
propose a solution that Lincoln and I have devised.
Seam 3 is a very different beast than Seam 2. In some ways, I liken it to
the relationship between Maven 2 and Maven 1. Both the Maven projects are
build tools that are founded on the same principle, a software project
management and comprehension tool that leverages an extensive ecosystem of
plugins that tie into a unified build lifecycle. But Maven 2 is built on a
different foundation than Maven 1, making them, in the end, very different
solutions.
Seam 3 relinquishes the context and dependency management and event
notification responsibility to CDI, something that evolved out of the Seam 2
core. Seam 3 is also focused on extensibility punctuated by container
portability. While you can expect similar convenient APIs and integrations
in Seam 3, and a bridge module that allows you to use or emulate Seam 2
components, pragmatically speaking, it's new project that is going to be
organized and governed very differently.
Having established that Seam 3 differs from Seam 2 is several fundamental
ways, mixing Seam 2 and Seam 3 information is massively confusing for
developers. I'm referring specifically to the forums and the wiki. The
driving force here is to establish a new "space" for Seam 3. Let's set that
point on the table and move to the next force.
Seam and Weld are projects brought to you by JBoss and its valued community.
Yet, for some time now, these projects have isolated themselves from the
JBoss community by being hosted outside (seamframework.org) of the JBoss
community umbrella (http://community.jboss.org). The creator of the
seamframework.org software is no longer with the team and the rest of us
must assume the responsibility of keeping it up to date. The problem is, any
work we spend on seamframework.org takes away from our ability to improve
Seam and Weld, review patches, analyze issues or write documentation. It's
an unnecessary drain. What makes it even more ridiculous is that we have a
entire team, the JBoss Community infrastructure team, that works full time
on providing a collaboration site to host projects, discussions and
documentation. A resource we are not currently leveraging.
Although it's a bigger discussion, we are reconsidering the use of the JBoss
Community for technical reasons. Lately we've identified some pain points
with seamframework.org that will immediately be solved by using Jive SBS
(the Java-based software behind community.jboss.org).
- Inability to monitor community discussion via "subscribe to this
thread"
- Inability to monitor comments on wiki pages
- Inability to post deep, complex links - including links to our own
threads on swfk.org
- A rigid navigation structure that cannot easily be altered
In short, we are concerned that we are lacking proper tools to effectively
manage and grow the Seam and Weld projects and community.
As simple as it sounds, there are still some considerations to take into
account before deciding to return Seam and Weld home to the JBoss Community.
That migration will require more planning. However, what Lincoln and I
suggest we can do as a first step is to take advantage of the need to create
a new space for Seam 3 and initiate that space in the JBoss Community. In
addition to the technical benefits, this would give us:
- a clean break for Seam 3, avoiding muddling with Seam 2 discussions and
information
- a proving ground to decide how we like the JBoss Community
collaboration platform, considering a full migration of
seamframework.orgin the future
- a chance for Seam community members across the board to establish their
JBoss Community accounts
- a better experience, in our mind
We propose:
- Creating a Seam 3 space at http://community.jboss.org with a user
discussion forum and wiki
- Creating a development subspace with a wiki (no discussion forum)
In the short term, we'll still use the seam-dev mailinglist for development
discussions (though we can consider enabling the discussion forums in the
development subspace if the e-mail bridge can be activated).
Would the majority of you be agreeable to this approach? It really will
provide a lot more clarity for Seam 3 and will show that we are sincere
about reuniting with the JBoss Community. Understand that this move will not
take away from the focus on portability in any way.

Configuring of JMS Forwarding
by Jordan Ganoff
All,
I'd like some feedback on the following. I brought up an idea for defining
configuration for the forwarding of events over JMS in our weekly meeting on
(4/29/2010). The basic idea is that users should be able to easily
configure which events get forwarded to which destinations. A user should
be able to define a mapping of event types to destinations in a bean (and
then optionally in xml using seam-xml). This might look like:
class JmsForwardingObserver implements ObserverMethod
{
JmsForwardingConfiguration config;
...
}
class JmsForwardingConfiguration
{
// Destinations to forward to
Set<? extends Destination> getDestinations();
// Event types to observer and forward
Set<? extends Event<?>> getEventTypes();
}
By default, we would create an instance of JmsForwardingObserver for every
registered JmsForwardingConfiguration. The user could also register their
own JmsForwardingObservers to handle special forwarding requirements. And
this could all be done with seam-xml-bean-config if the user chooses.
Is there a preferred way to allow users to configure aspects of a module
yet?
In the meeting I mentioned an annotation-based configuration but on second
thought I'm not sure how that would work to define sets of destinations or
events cleanly.
WDYT?

Fwd: [seam-commits] Seam SVN: r12493 - in modules/faces/trunk/impl/src/main: resources/META-INF/services and 1 other directory.
by Pete Muir
Guys,
We cannot rely on statics in Seam 3. Please don't add code like this. If you have a problem accessing the BeanManager from your code, please ask here about the best solution.
Nik, can you revert this please. And then explain what situation you are trying to address.
Thanks.

Build status emails
by Pete Muir
All,
Hudson sends out emails if a commit you make causes the build to fail. If you work for Red Hat, your email address is set up automatically. If you don't, and you do commit to Weld or Seam, please could you send me your jboss.org username, and the email address you would like these emails to go to so I can check that you have the correct details entered into Hudson?
Thanks!

Seam 2.2.x nightly build fails with a "Not authorized" return code
by denis.forveille＠gmail.com
The Seam 2.2.1 nightly build is broken
The problem seems to be related to the security probem that occurred
previously .
Part of the hudson build log:
[artifact:deploy] Error deploying artifact 'org.jboss.seam:root:pom':
Error retrieving previous build number for artifact
'org.jboss.seam:root:pom': repository metadata for: 'snapshot
org.jboss.seam:root:2.2.1-SNAPSHOT' could not be retrieved from
repository: snapshots.jboss.org due to an error: Authorization failed:
Not authorized.
Could someone fix this?
Thanks
