Hi guys,
Will pdf and mail be separate modules?
I would also like to contribute to both modules.
I have done some extensive research of existing mail module code while tracking down
JBSEAM-3555 and have found out that current approach to using JSF in seam mail error-prone
J
Currently seam just uses jsf that was initalized in web application and that is why there
are some ugly hacks to make it work when you invoke seam mail from from non-web request
(ejb,mdb,...)
Pete has sugessted that new seam-mail modul should start its own instance of JSF.
Main problem with jsf is that there is no standard api to programaticly set-up jsf
enviroment. Idea is that seam implements RI (Mojarra 2.0) with implementation specific api
and possible others if they provide any machins for starting up.
I would also like to contribute do pdf module as we have some in-house improvments and
also some friends are willing to contibute huge upgrade to seam-pdf(forms,etc,..) but it
is currently seam 2.0.x based.
As I have not yet had much time to dive deeply into CDI and Seam 3(but I folow development
closly) a kick start as setting up seam3 module would be much apreciated. Altough I can
help to >rip out< any seam 2 module...
Cheers,
Tomaž

Seam 2
Hi Cody, you have my email address now.
I'm actually not very familiar with Seam 2, which is one of the reasons this has been
lower priority, but if you can "rip" that part out of Seam 2 and make it a
standalone maven project, I can help you get it set up as a Seam 3 module and all that
goodness :)
seam-dev(a)lists.jboss.org (if you don't already know) is where we discuss development,
so you can also ask questions there --
https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/seam-dev
is where you can sign up.
Thanks for reaching out!
