Seam 1.1 — more than EJB 3.0

Gavin King seems to have reconsidered, because the new version of Seam no longer depends on EJB 3.0. Earlier versions could run in Tomcat, for example, but required JBoss Microcontainer. Version 1.1 no longer needs it.

Another new feature is the ability to generate a Seam application skeleton from an existing database. Stateful component state can also be replicated, including POJO objects. Replication is particularly interesting because it sends only the differences, rather than entire objects or object graphs. If you want to try POJO replication, begin by configuring a cluster using JBoss cluster step by step.

You can find more in What’s New in Seam 1.1, along with many other interesting links. I like Seam more and more. If you have real experience with it, share it in the discussion; I am sure many readers would be interested.
