[seam-dev] Re: [Seam Dev] Re: EJB3/JNDI bindings/ordering
I fought quite extensively over this and I'm not really prepared to
spend (waste) any more time on it.
TBH, I'm not even sure that anyone from EJB3/AS/MC actually gets what
this feature actually is and why it is important *. The main
discussion the EJB3/AS/MC guys wanted to have seemed to be over who
was to "blame" for Seam apps not running on AS5, a discussion which I
have absolutely no interest in pursuing *.
In fact, this whole discussion (and other similar ones) left me
pretty sour in the mouth. The general impression I got was that Seam
as a vehicle for pushing EJB3 wasn't interesting for the EJB3 guys,
from which I formed the conclusion that we would probably be better
off concentrating on the Seam JavaBean component model.
And so, if anyone else wants to pick up the AS5 integration work/
liaison from me, please do!
* There are a couple of exceptions to this of course

Agreed, we definitely can't say that Seam supports JBoss5 until this
feature is back in.
One of the critical selling features of Seam is that no XML is
required to declare a component.
Anyway, this feature will be in the next rev of EJB.
