Presentation Slides

Thanks to Brian for his excellent presentation on Seam and EJB 3.

Abstract

This session will demonstrate the simplicity offered by Seam (JSR 299: WebBeans) by converting a JSF / EJB3.0 application to one which uses the Seam framework. We'll start with an introduction to Java EE 5 and EJB 3.0, covering new concepts such as annotations, dependency injection, persistence units and entity managers. We'll then work through the steps necessary to refactor a JSF / EJB 3.0 application to use the Seam framework, eliminating the need for our managed beans and access our EJBs directly from the view.
