One of Jbossseam Learning series: Preparing learning Environment

Prepare to study jbossseam thoroughly, study well, and follow the jboss-seam-2.1.1.cr1 of the <<seam_reference.pdf>> in the specific learning route.

Before learning Jbossseam, it is best to have a certain understanding of relevant technologies, such as:

Jsf

EJB3.0

Jpa

Then download the relevant software, as follows:

Jboss-seam-2.1.1.cr1

Jboss-4.2.3.ga

JBOSSTOOLS-3.0.0.BETA1-R200810311334-ALL-WIN32 (development environment)

ECLIPSE-JEE-GANYMEDE-SR1-WIN32 (development environment)

apache-ant-1.7.0

Jdk1.6.0_06

The configuration of the environment is relatively simple, basically decompression can be, there are the following considerations:

Set Java_home, Ant_home in the system's environment variable

Jbosstools will be copied to the eclipse's unpacked directory after decompression.

After JBOSS-SEAM-2.1.1.CR1 decompression, you need to set the Jboss.home in the Default.build.properties file in its bulid directory as jboss_home (assuming the installation directory for JBOSS-4.2.3GA).

When configured, start JBoss Server and then run the ant Explode command in the/examples/registration directory of Seam_home (assuming seam's installation directory). You can compile the deployment registration application to the JBoss server, and finally visit: Http://localhost:8080/seam-registration to experience the first example program that seam provides:-)
