[seam-dev] Seam module spotlight series

[Shane Bryzak]

Guys,

I'd like to start up a weekly Seam module spotlight.  Basically, each 
week I'd like one of you to write up an article that we can publish on 
in.relation.to that shows off the best features of your module.  
Preferably the article would be use-case centric, as opposed to the 
feature-centric style that we generally write with in the reference 
documentation.  For example, if I was writing a blog post about the 
persistence module I would make the point that if you're writing POJO 
beans to implement your business layer that I would not have transaction 
support by default, and that is where the transaction features of the 
persistence module come in.  I'd also explain how it could be useful in 
other container environments, such as Tomcat or even Java SE.

This style of writing is more likely to get your readers to a point 
where they understand why your module is as cool as we say it is, as 
they can relate its coolness in terms of real life use cases.  Whereas 
explaining things from a feature point of view might leave some confused 
as to how they can actually *use* that feature in their own projects.

Anyway, I'm looking for a brave volunteer to go first.  Ideally we'd get 
the first spotlight article published by the end of next week (before 
the 9th) so that should leave enough time to put together an informative 
article.
