Good news, I restructured the booking example into a 3 module reactor project (ejb, war, ear) to build out an EAR deployable...and it actually deploys. So far, you can use the hotel search. PLEASE feel free to suggest refactorings. I&#39;m just getting into the Web Beans programming model here.<br>
<br>The booking project lays down a standard for Seam 3 examples. I will of course port ideas back and forth between Seam and Web Beans as we learn more about Maven and how we want to set things up.<br><br>One of the minor, but nice advances I made is that I was able to use Maven project properties to minimize the repeated elements in each pom.xml. Just check it out to see what I am talking about.<br>
<br>Even cooler news was that I figured out how to build out an EAR for JBoss AS complete with the data source embedded within it. This simplifies the deployment, since you don&#39;t have to hang the -ds.xml file out adjacent to the deployable and it allows Maven to do all the work without any hacks. I even discovered that the jboss maven plugin does a pretty decent job of deploying to JBoss. It doesn&#39;t do an exploded archive yet, but for examples most people focus more on just a one-time deployment. I haven&#39;t plunged into Cargo yet. I might dabble in it later.<br>
<br>I ran into one hangup that caused me to lose a couple of hours. If you use the typical loader-repository setting in jboss-app.xml, it breaks injection in Web Beans. I don&#39;t really understand why, or why the loader-repository is really needed anymore, so I just made a note in the pom.xml not to use it.<br>
<br>Long story short, you can deploy booking. But you will need to have Web Beans and JSF 2 SVN deployed to JBoss AS 5. That&#39;s all for now ;)<br><br>-Dan<br><br>-- <br>Dan Allen<br>Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action<br>
