Re: [weld-dev] JBoss Web Framework Kit and Seam

As if EE6 wasn't novel and confusing enough with the change of names like Web Beans to CDI, EJB Lite and new web/full profiles concept, etc. Now we have some presumably new product offerings from JBoss: http://www.jboss.com/pdf/JBbyRH_WFK_Datasheet.pdf This one comes from out of nowhere: GWT, RichFaces, Struts, Spring, but no Seam. No Seam. And I thought that RichFaces was an AJAX component library for JSF. But no mention of JSF in the datasheet. Fantastic. Oh but wait.... "Along with leading JBoss technologies Hibernate and Seam, JBoss Web Framework Kit will be included in Red Hat Java Enterprise Edition application server solutions, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and JBoss Enterprise Web Platform to provide a complete, integrated environment that supports any type of Java application. For deployments that use the Apache Tomcat component of JBoss Enterprise Web Server, JBoss Web Framework Kit can be easily added to help round out any lightweight Java application architecture." I thought EJB Lite and web profile in EE6 was "lightweight", no? Or not "light" enough? Because Tomcat starts up so fast. So is JBoss/Redhat trying to gobble up some of SpringSource's customers and market share and thus boost revenue? Seam can integrate with Spring as was shown in SiA book. So why isn't Seam included in this new JBoss WFK? And does Redhat JEE app server mean JBoss 6 AS? And if yes, does that mean JBoss 6 includes this WFK? Is it available in the current AS 6.0.0.M1 download? _______________________________________________ weld-dev mailing list weld-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/weld-dev
