JBoss Seam is an exciting new application framework based on the Java EE platform
that is used to build rich, web-based business applications. Seam is rapidly
capturing the interest of Java enterprise developers because of its focus on
simplicity, ease of use, transparent integration, and scalability.
Seam in Action offers a practical and in-depth look at JBoss Seam. The book
puts Seam head-to-head with the complexities in the Java EE architecture. The
author presents an unbiased view of Seam from outside the walls of RedHat/JBoss,
focusing on such topics as Spring integration and deployment to alternative
application servers to steer clear of vendor lock-in. By the end of the book,
you should expect to not only gain a deep understanding of Seam, but also come
away with the confidence to teach the material to others.
To start off, you will see a working Java EE-compliant application come together
by the end of the second chapter. As you progress through the book, you will
discover how Seam eliminates unnecessary layers and configurations, solves the
most common JSF pain points, and establishes the missing link between JSF, EJB
3 and JavaBean components. The author also shows you how Seam opens doors for
you to incorporate technologies you previously have not had time to learn, such
as business processes and stateful page flows (jBPM), Ajax remoting, PDF generation,
asynchronous tasks, and more.
All too often, developers spend a majority of their time integrating disparate
technologies, manually tracking state, struggling to understand JSF, wrestling
with Hibernate exceptions, and constantly redeploying applications, rather than
on the logic pertaining to the business at hand. Seam in Action dives deep into
thorough explanations of how Seam eliminates these non-core tasks by leveraging
configuration by exception, Java 5 annotations, and aspect-oriented programming.

About the Author
Dan Allen is a passionate enterprise software developer, scholar, and mentor.
For Dan, the end game is to be a mentor, and writing is one medium he uses to
pursue that goal. Dan has over eight years of development experience using technologies
that include Java frameworks (Seam, JSF, EJB3, Hibernate, Spring, Struts), testing
frameworks (JUnit, TestNG), JavaScript and DOM scripting, CSS and page layouts,
Maven 2, Ant, Groovy, as well as a wealth of other technologies not mentioned.
Dan is also a dedicated open source advocate, and is very proud, and not a tad
bit shy, about the fact that he has been running Linux, and only Linux, since
the turn of the millennium. Dan's professional passions are equally divided
between Java and Linux, with a hint of other technologies mixed in.
