This presentation, which is 60% demonstration, will walk the audience through the steps necessary to begin using the Seam framework (Web Beans - JSR 299):

• It will begin with a brief introduction to Java EE 5 through review of an existing JSF/EJB 3.0 application.
• We will refactor the JSF/EJB3.0 application to one which uses the Seam framework, ultimately eliminating the need for the JSF managed bean.
• We will take advantage of the Hibernate validator framework (a component of Seam), allowing us to eliminate the JSF validators.
• We will run our application in multiple browser tabs to demonstrate session "bleeding," and then solve it using Seam's conversational scope type.
• Finally, we'll demonstrate Seam's portability by running the application on both JBoss and GlassFish.
