Re: Intro / Steve Vangasse

Hi Steve - welcome to the list.

You're right - it has been quiet for the last few months. A few of us
did meet up for a drink at the end of August but I've dropped the ball
since then so it's about time we did it again.

Does anyone fancy meeting up on Wedneday 7th November? 8pm Horts on
Broad St.

Hi Dave, Steve,

Yep.. I could make the 7th.

Interesting that someone else in the West is using jboss seam on a
project.
I'd like to here how that is going.

Thanks

Tom

I should be able to make the 7th too.

My experience with Seam has been pretty positive so far. It allows you
to cut out a lot of unnecessary code when working with EJB3 and JSF
which speeds development up. One problem I do have with JBoss (not
Seam) is the time it takes to start and stop the server during
development. I've been using Netbeans 5.5.1. What IDE do you use Tom?
Any tricks you could share to cut down iteration time?

Cheers,

Steve

Use JDK 6 (that speeds things up by x2) and also the new hot bean
deployment feature in seam 2.0
But yes it is still slow ... that's my main problem with it as well.
