[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: Scope/Context feedback

[CptnKirk]

The given Seam examples and documentation isn't PhD work, or even that complex.  It does try and provide a complete example (non-trivial) and it does assume a certain foundation.

In the case of your team, can I suggest some training.  At least on JSF and Hibernate/JPA and then sprinkle in some EJB3 and Seam if available.  I believe that JBoss offers training on all of these technologes.  I have also had great experience with training from ArcMind.  You should be able to get up to speed in about a week.  The development team at my organization made a previous technology leap to the one you're making, and let me say that a week of on-site training (available for around $10-15k depending on size) was money very well spent.

>From there I'd start learning how Seam improves upon what's currently available in the JSF/EJB3/JPA technology stack.

You'll see that @Factory and @Unwrap are not magic.  And you'll see how Seam can allow for a tremendious line of code reduction vs alternative best practice uses of JSF/EJB3/JPA.  In the end this should allow for much easier code readability and smaller modules.  Which all equals fewer calls on vacation.

I and others are always willing to help here on the forums, but to get the most of out what we're saying about Seam I think training in other areas would go a long way.  At the very least you'd no longer be trying to learn 5 things at once, and could focus on doing Seam well.
