JBoss Seam is developed and tested on the latest JBoss Application Server (AS). It is built on top of many JBoss services, such as JBoss AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming), Hibernate, EJB3, JSF, JBoss Cache, and JBoss Transaction Manager. Seam provides a simple, unified programming model for accessing all those heavy-duty enterprise services.
The build scripts for all example applications in this book build EAR files that can be deployed in the JBoss AS (see Appendix B on how to build the example applications).
