One of the comments from a reviewer of Seam in Action with regard to org.jboss.seam.framework.PersistenceController et al If you know why they chose to use "T" instead of, say, PM or P, that would be good to say. "T" doesn't really make a lot of sense unless they were talking about a "Transacton" manager … but this is a persistence thing, right? Why not use "P"? Is this worth a JIRA or explanation? Personally, I always interpreted as being short for "type". -Dan -- Dan Allen Software consultant | Author of Seam in Action http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction NOTE: While I make a strong effort to keep up with my email on a daily basis, life and work come first and, at times, keep me away from my mail for a while.
