[seam-dev] Seam 3

[Peter Royle]

Hi Dave,

Just from the brief look I've had at this is looks very impressive. I would love to help out with Seam 3 compatibility. I have a task to document the Seam Cron SPIs, and the process for providing a new implementation. Once I have done that I will let you know (you might like to watch this task as well: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMCRON-21). If you want to get started right away the existing Quartz Scheduling implementation should be a good place to start: https://github.com/seam/cron/tree/master/providers/scheduling/quartz . Due to the very limited functionality of Cron right now, implementing a new provider is fairly straightforward. I recommend checking out and building the whole project as described here (http://docs.jboss.org/seam/3/cron/3.0.0.Alpha1/reference/en-US/html_single/#installation), then digging into the code. Hit me up on the mailing list or #seam-dev on freenode IRC for any questions.

Obviously Seam Cron lacks most of the functionality provided by QueuJ. In those cases I would love to bring that functionality into the Seam Cron API, with QueuJ being the first provider to implement those features. Since you know the QueueJ feature set better than I do, it would be great if you could raise JIRA issues for each bit of functionality offered by QueuJ but not covered by the Seam cron API/SPI.

I hope you don't mind I've CC'd the seam-dev mailing list to let them know there's something awesome going on. If you haven't already joined that list it would be great if you did.

Thanks,

Pete Royle

I was recently given permission to split the code from the framework and open source it. I've added a compatibility layer for Seam 2 as I know Seam 2 fairly well. I haven't had a chance to learn Seam 3 yet but would like to add Seam 3 compatibility to the library as well.
