Seam Requirements
Please read the Requirements FAQ first if you have any questions, this is a quick overview:
- Important: You do not need JBoss Application Server to write or deploy Seam applications. See this page for more information on supported application servers and containers. Seam is bundled with a number of useful example applications, many of which do target JBoss AS for out-of-the-box deployment. Some bundled examples have been ported to other application servers and servlet containers, as documented in their README files.
- Seam 2.2 examples target JBoss Application Server 5.1.
- Seam 2.0 and 2.1 examples target JBoss Application Server 4.2 or 5.0.
- Seam 1.2 examples target JBoss 4.0, which must be installed using the JEMS installer with the ejb3 or ejb3-clustering profile.
- JDK 5.0 is required for all Seam releases. Seam has not been tested on JDK 6.0 (check this page for updates).
To get started with Seam after you downloaded it, please follow the Getting Started guidelines.

Weld Requirements
- Weld 1.0 requires JBoss Application Server 5.2.0.Beta1 (currently only nightly builds available) to run or to deploy the examples out-of-the-box. Alternatively, there is support for GlassFish V3, Tomcat or Jetty, and Java SE. Other application servers may be supported for the 1.0.0 release.
Weld 1.0.0 is available out of the box with JBoss Application Server 5.2.0.Beta1 - no need to install any libraries, just deploy your application.
- JDK 5.0 or JDK 6.0 is required for all Weld releases
To get started with Weld after you downloaded it, please follow Chapter 6 Getting started with Weld
in the Documentation.

Seam in Maven
Seam 2 is available from the JBoss Maven 2 repository:
- Group Id: org.jboss.seam
- Artifact Ids: jboss-seam, jboss-seam-ui, jboss-seam-remoting, jboss-seam-ioc, jboss-seam-pdf, jboss-seam-mail, jboss-seam-debug, jboss-seam-excel, jboss-seam-rss, jboss-seam-wicket, jboss-seam-resteasy
Read this article for more information about Seam with Maven. You can also find unstable nightly builds on the JBoss Maven 2 snapshot repository.
Weld in Maven
Weld is available from Maven Central:
- Group Id: javax.enterprise
- Artifact Ids: cdi-api
- Group Id: org.jboss.weld
- Artifact Ids: weld-core, weld-api, weld-spi
Please be advised that if you are building applications on Weld using Maven, we still recommend using the JBoss Maven repository as well as central. We haven't been able to confirm that all the runtime dependencies are located in the Maven Central repository.
Seam SVN Repository
Seam is located in the JBoss SVN Repository, in the seam module. Seam 2 is a organized as a single project (thus one repository), built using Ant. Seam 3 is entirely modular and is divided into multiple repositories (docs, examples, modules, sandbox), each built using Maven 2. In order to get all of Seam 3, you have to check out each repository individually.

Building Seam 2
You need a full install of ant 1.7.0. Some linux distributions only supply a partial installation of ant which will make the build fail. If so, make sure ant-nodeps.jar is on the classpath.
To build Seam from SVN, just run ant build in seam/. You'll find the built artifacts and current set of libraries in jboss-seam/lib.
For more information, see Getting Started Developing the Seam Framework.
Building Weld
You need a full install of ant 1.7.0. Some Linux distributions only supply a partial installation of ant which will make the build fail. If so, make sure ant-nodeps.jar is on the classpath.
To build Weld from SVN, just run mvn install in weld/. You'll find the built artifacts and current set of libraries in your maven repository. To update JBoss AS with this version of Weld, run ant -f jboss-as/build.xml.
For more information, see Guidelines for Weld development.
Building Seam 3
NOTE: This build is currently not working correctly due to recent changes to CDI and Weld.
Seam 3 is built entirely with Maven 2, so you will need to have that installed before you begin. You also need to use JDK 6 at the moment. Seam 3 will target JDK 5, but we're using a JDK 6 API for convenience/prototyping. Keep in mind that Seam 3 is in the very early stages, so put on your lab glasses ;)
Begin by installing/extracting JBoss AS 5. Set the JBOSS_HOME environment variable to point to this installation. Now, checkout and build!
Open a shell and switch to your development directory. (Committers note that you can change the repository URLs to https://svn.jboss.org...)
Let's begin by building Weld. Seam 3 requires a JSR-299 implementation, so Weld fulfills this requirement.
mkdir weld-trunk cd weld-trunk svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/weld/ri/trunk ri svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/webbeans-ri-int/trunk ri-int svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/weld/extensions/trunk extensions cd ri mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true cd ../ri-int mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true cd ../extensions/logger mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true cd ../../ri/jboss-as
PAUSE
Create file local.build.properties and populate with:
jboss.home=<<same as JBOSS_HOME>> webbeans-ri-int.version=5.2.0-SNAPSHOT webbeans.version=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
Now to install the weld.deployer into JBoss AS 5.
ant update
Let's now get Seam 3 checked out and built.
cd ../../.. mkdir seam-trunk cd seam-trunk svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/modules/trunk modules cd modules mvn install cd jsf-upgrade-tool mvn cd ../..
To run the examples, you must have a Bean Validation implementation and API JAR in the JBoss AS classpath. I use the following JARs:
hibernate-validator-4.0.0.Beta1.jar slf4j-api-1.5.6.jar slf4j-log4j12-1.5.6.jar validation-api-1.0.CR2.jar
You can download the release here or get the SVN from here and here.
Now to build the booking example:
svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/examples/trunk examples cd examples/booking mvn cli:execute-phase > explode
Start JBoss and visit http://localhost:8080/seam-booking/
