28.3. Configuring Seam in Java EE 5
If you're running in a Java EE 5 environment, this is all the configuration required to start using Seam!
28.3.1. Packaging
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.
