The following are description on how to organize Seam 2.3 project in the Maven build tool environment.
+[[earprojectorganization]]
=== Ear Project Organization
The folder organization of Seam 2.3 in Maven typically consists of one main project, the `pom` project. The `pom` project in Maven, is the project that doesn't have any source files onto itself but contains the projects that are required for the build. In an ear based project. Inside of the `pom` ear based project folder contains three subfolders one for the ear project, one for the war project, one for the arquillian (formerly seam test) project, and one for the ejb project. Given a parent `pom` project called `myproject`, some ideas for the the subfolders would include `myproject-ear`, `myproject-web`, `myproject-test`, and `myproject-ejb`. You can refer to the examples in the *examples-ee6* folder for some general ideas as to how to create the folder organization for your Seam 2.3 project.

+The test module will house former SeamTests which will now be upgraded to Arquillian based Seam Tests. The layout of the test module is simple as seen in <<figure4, Figure 4>>. All tests will be placed in the `src/test/java` folder, all resources that are required either to enhance or override current setting should be placed in the `src/test/resources/` folder. Placing source files in the `src/main/java` folder is unnecessary, since these integration tests will be using the ear, war, ejb class and jar files in their respective maven projects. A new folder is required for arquillian testing, *arquillian.xml* and should be located in the `src/test/resources-integration` folder. Though where this file gets placed is up to you, this has become also a convention.

=== War Project Organization
-War proj stuff
+If you choose not run Seam 2.3 as an ear, but as a war. A war project typically will include a parent `pom` project as mentioned in <<earprojectorganization, Ear Project Organization>> and a web project that is located inside of the `pom` project with typically the same name of the project but with "-web" extended on the name of the project, see. Though the naming is not mandatory, it has become somewhat of a convention. For an example folder layout, see <<figure5, Figure 5>> for an example folder setup of a war based project.

+For full ear projects, the *jboss-deployment-structure.xml* will be located in the `src/main/resources/META-INF` directory of the ear module.

+== Upgrading Web Modules
+The contents of the web module as shown in <<figure3, Figure 3>> displays a sample layout for the web module that would be located inside of the project parent `pom` module. The organization is straight-forward, even moreso for those who are already familiar with maven. Inside of the web project, the folder `src/main/webapp` would store all the .xhtml, .css, and other web based files, while `src/main/webapp/WEB-INF` would house all web configurations required for deployment. To succesfully migrate from Seam 2.3 from Seam 2.2, components.xml, faces-config.xml, pages.xml and any addition page files schemas will need to be upgraded. Finally, all .xhtml files will also need be upgraded by replacing all `<head>`, and `<body>` tags to `<h:head>` and `<h:body>` respectively.

+*faces-config.xml* has always been essentially a non-player with seam with no continous active configuration whatsoever. The roles of this file stays the same, but there is two simple items that need to be performed to upgrade it to JSF 2.1 and for it to work with Seam 2.3. First upgrade the schema from version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 to version 2.1 which is the latest JSF version. Next, change the `version` of the faces-config element itself. Lastly, remove the `<view-handler>` element that was once required for JBoss Seam 2.2, as it is no longer required for JBoss Seam 2.3. <<listing6, Listing 6>> and <<listing7, Listing 7>> shows the upgrade changes.

+Upgrading *page.xml* files as well as other files only requires that the schemas be upgraded. <<listing8, Listing 8>> and <<listing9, Listing 9>> shows the upgrade changes.

+
+Finally, all .xhtml files will need to be upgraded to JSF 2.1. While most of what was done in 1.2 can remain the same, you will be experiencing errors if certain elements are not upgraded. <<listing10, Listing 10>> and <<listing11, Listing 11>> shows the difference between the same file that has been upgraded. First, the `<body>` tag is renamed to `<h:body>` in the both the opening tag and the closing tag while `<head>` will need to be converted `<h:head>`.
