Built with Seam

You can find the full source code for this website in the Seam package in the directory /examples/wiki. It is licensed under the LGPL.

Not that this really matters in the grand scheme of things, but it is a pet peeve of mine. I often see Seam written as SEAM. Seam is not an acronym. Plus, it's more effort for you to type SEAM rather than Seam. Please pass this on to your friends so that they stop overusing their shift key ;)

Then jBPM is even a lot more effort ;-)

Yeah, I was kind of thinking what acronym I would make out of it, given that people appear to want it to be an acronym.

Software for Enterprise Application Masterpieces

Perhaps I withdrawal my statement. It is an acronym after all! A masterpiece of one.

By the way, don't take my little pet peeve too seriously. Perhaps what I should ask is what do you think it stands for? Maybe someone knows something I don't ;)

Tell me about it. I have had to type jBPM at least a couple hundred times while writing Seam in Action. I cannot tell you how many times I have typed jBMP or some other mutilated form of it.

Maybe it should have been FEAM instead of Seam :)

...but that sounds suspiciously like FEMA, and Seam definitely has better response times...

Dan,

Why do we have in the cover of the killer Seam in Action: SEAM in Action and not Seam in Action? ;-)

Cheers, JP

Click HELP for text formatting instructions. Then edit this text and check the preview.

Good to see the postings regarding the acronym and Thank you very much for making Seam as SEAM (acronym) :).

But why can't you folks read it as Seam without finding any acronym ???

If you continue doing the same.. people will become mad by thinking/finding the acronyms for Spring, GRails, Struts, etc., I Love to read as Seam.

Because my communication to Manning kept being misinterpreted and even they got it backwards. Fortunately, I got it resolved before the final cover was created, so it will be correct in the print version and all subsequent materials.

I think this sticky has served its purpose. How about replacing it with 2.10 issues?
