JBoss Seam 2E Preview Chapters Released

Date February 13, 2008

The first cut preview chapters for JBoss Seam, Second Edition, 2/E have been released. You can access the preview chapters at the Safari Rough Cut site and can retrieve the code examples discussed throughout the chapters from this previous posting.

The full versions of these chapters are available through Safari by subscription as well as a number of other chapters. Coming soon, you can expect more coverage of core Seam as well as using Seam with Groovy, Rules-based Security, JBoss Cache, Quartz integration, and much, much more.

    Is there any chance that the second edition of this book will use Maven, rather than Ant, for builds? It would be very useful to see working examples of small Seam projects that use Maven. Thanks very much.

  7. jacob.orshalick said:

    Yes, the second edition will provide at least one example that uses Maven for the build but most of the examples will still use Ant. An appendix will cover the details of how the Maven build works and describe how to use Maven with Seam in your own projects.

    Hello,

    in the booking example in file main.xhtml i found this line:

    <s:link id="viewHotel" value="View Hotel"
      action="#{hotelBooking.selectHotel(hot)}" />

    And there is this recent discussion about parameter passing:

    http://seamframework.org/Community/PassingInstanceToHomeClass#comment8090

    I think this has to be clarified before publishing the book

  9. jacob.orshalick said:

    Thanks for pointing out this topic baz. This was carried over from the booking example that ships with Seam to avoid extensive changes to the base project. I will keep watch on this and change the example before publication to avoid risk of a deprecated API. Thanks again and keep the comments coming!
