28.3. Configuring Seam in Java EE 5

View larger image
If you're running in a Java EE 5 environment, this is all the configuration required to start using Seam!

28.3.1. Packaging
Copy link

Once packaged into an EAR, your archive will be structured similarly to the following: 
my-application.ear/
    jboss-seam.jar
    lib/
        jboss-el.jar
    META-INF/
        MANIFEST.MF
        application.xml
    my-application.war/
        META-INF/
            MANIFEST.MF
        WEB-INF/
            web.xml
            components.xml
            faces-config.xml
            lib/
                jsf-facelets.jar
                jboss-seam-ui.jar
        login.jsp
        register.jsp
        ...
    my-application.jar/
        META-INF/
            MANIFEST.MF
            persistence.xml
        seam.properties
        org/
            jboss/
                myapplication/
                    User.class
                    Login.class
                    LoginBean.class
                    Register.class
                    RegisterBean.class
          ...

Declare jboss-seam.jar as an EJB module in META-INF/application.xml. Add jboss-el.jar to the EAR classpath by placing it in the EAR's lib directory.
To use jBPM or Drools, include the required JARs in the EAR's lib directory.
Tp use Facelets, as recommended, include jsf-facelets.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the WAR.
Most applications use the Seam tag library — to do so, include jboss-seam-ui.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the WAR. To use the PDF or email tag libraries, you must also place jboss-seam-pdf.jar or jboss-seam-mail.jar in WEB-INF/lib.
To use the Seam debug page, include jboss-seam-debug.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the WAR. Seam's debug page only works for applications using Facelets.)
Seam also ships with several example applications — these are deployable in any Java EE container with EJB3 support.
