[seam-dev] FaceBook integration for Seam

[Michael Yuan]

Well, I went to a couple of Open Social sessions in JavaOne. They are  
very much into Java. :) Also, Open Social seems to be complicated  
enough, with all its combination of REST calls and Javascript, that a  
wrapper of some sort (JSF or deeper in Seam) will make sense.

cheers
Michael
