[seam-dev] Don't we need a Seam - Spring module ?

[Jason Porter]

My take is to use what Rick has done. It's out there, no point in redoing it. The other idea if you want something from Red Hat would be to talk to the SnowDrop guys and have them do a Spring / CDI module (in keeping with the idea of the main project hosting the integration, not Seam).

No EJB because it's also a Spring Shop. One of my missions is to help them to build their next official stack based on JBoss EAP 6 (which should be out in January). So I try to promote full Java EE 6 stack (with CDI and EJB 3.1) and put Spring aside as an alternative/Legacy framework. But it won't work if they don't have a supported solution to use their old Spring components / Knowledge in this new stack.
