JBoss Seam is an exciting new application framework based on Java EE platform used to build rich, web-based business applications. As you progress through this book you will discover how Seam eliminates unnecessary layers and configurations, to solve the most common JSF pain points, and set the missing link between JSF, EJB 3 and JavaBean components. Too often, developers spend a majority of their time integrating different technologies, manually tracking state, struggling to understand JSF, wrestling with Hibernate exceptions, and constantly redeploying applications, rather than the logic associated with business in the hands of the dive. Seam in Action is much into a comprehensive explanation of how Seam eliminates the tasks of non-core by using the configuration by exception, Java 5 annotations, and aspect-oriented programming.
