My Seam Talks in JavaOne 2007

I am running two Seam-related BoFs on the first night of JavaOne 2007.

BOF-4400: Improve and Expand JavaServer Faces Technology with JBoss Seam
May 8th, 9pm, Hall E - 134 (Moscone Center)
By Michael Yuan and Kito Mann

BOF-9792: Rapid Seam Application Development with the NetBeans IDE
May 8th, 10pm, Gateway - 104 (Moscone Center)
By Michael Yuan and Petr Pisl

Come and chat with us if you are going to JavaOne!

In addition, Gavin is giving two technical sessions on Seam and WebBeans JSR. Make sure that you attend those too! :)

    Michael,

    Does Seam support developing website in Chinese? I mean the text on buttons, the content will all be Chinese?

    I tried Seam example “issues”. When I create a “project attribute” and put “name” textbox 广告计划, then click button “Create”. But the result “name” textbox changed to some code like 广告计划

    We are evaluating Seam for our next Web project. It looks good. But this is critical.

    Thanks,
    -Mike

    Yes, Seam supports Chinese just fine. Places you might want to look:

    1. When the input data is handled by the event handler, make sure that the event handler is using string utilities that are compatible with chinese chars

    2. Make sure that you database table supports chinese — i.e., not to convert chinese chars upon saving.

    cheers
    Michael

    to Michael,

    I want to make a course about seam in my company and make seam our next-g framework. My partners are good at struts/ibatis, but have no experience in jsf/ejb3 and the other technologies used in seam.

    what should i do?

    to Mike,

    I live in DaLian, Where are you? :D

    Well, JSF is designed and pioneered by Craig McClanahan, who is also the creator of struts:

    So, while there is some learning curve between struts and JSF, I believe all struts developers should learn JSF to stay up to date.

    iBatis versus EJB3, on the other hand, is no brainer. Hibernate and Toplink are already behind EJB3. I believe iBatis will follow very soon — to avoid becoming completely oblivious. iBatis will become another EJB3 implementation.

    Please can these be recorded and put somewhere?
    Java site, JBoss on-line training?
    I would even host them on a server I have.

    Michael,

    If we use Seam, is it easy for ourselves to integrate Web Service module like Apache Axis?
    Or Does Seam provide some roadmap to include it?

    Thanks,
    -Mike

    @Mike: do you mean a web service server or client? I just exposed some of my latest Seam application over a web service using the JBoss Web Service libraries. I have a small write up here (although I wrote it late at night, so it’s not book quality) Seam and Web Services. That may help. Feel free to e-mail me with questions, and I’ll help, if I can.

    I’ve also had great luck doing internationalization within Seam using resource bundles, etc… My 10MinuteMail.com site supports both simplified and traditional chinese (and 18 other languages). I haven’t internationalized everything on the site, but everything I have done has worked perfectly.

    Regards,

    Devon

    I attended you BOF 4400 and was interested in the slides. Are they available on-line for download?
