Seam Requirements
Please read the Requirements FAQ first if you have any questions, this is a quick overview:
- Seam 2.x examples require JBoss Application Server 4.2 or 5.0 if you want to deploy these examples out-of-the-box. Some bundled examples have been ported to other application servers and servlet containers, as documented in their README files. You do not need JBoss AS to write or deploy Seam 2.0 applications. See this page for more information on application servers and containers.
- Seam 1.2 requires 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.

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.
Web Beans in Maven
Web Beans is available from the JBoss Maven 2 repository:
- Group Id: org.jboss.webbeans
- Artifact Ids: jsr299-api, webbeans-core, webbeans-spi, webbeans-api
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.
# Anonymous SVN checkout of the 2.0 stable branch: svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_0 seam # Anonymous SVN checkout of the 2.1 stable branch: svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_1 seam # Anonymous SVN checkout of the 2.2 stable branch: svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_2 seam # Anonymous SVN checkout of the 3.0 development branch (trunk): mkdir seam-trunk && cd seam-trunk # creates directory to host the source svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/docs/trunk docs svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/examples/trunk examples svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/seam/modules/trunk modules cd modules/version-matrix && mvn install # seeds the Maven 2 repository # Developer/Committer SVN checkout of the 2.0 stable branch: svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_0 seam # Developer/Committer SVN checkout of the 2.1 stable branch: svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_1 seam # Developer/Committer SVN checkout of the 2.2 stable branch: svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/seam/branches/community/Seam_2_2 seam # Developer/Committer SVN checkout of the 3.0 development branch (trunk): mkdir seam-trunk && cd seam-trunk # creates directory to host the source svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/seam/docs/trunk docs svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/seam/examples/trunk examples svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/seam/modules/trunk modules cd modules/version-matrix && mvn install # seeds the Maven 2 repository
NOTE If you are working off of the Seam 3 trunks, you also need to have Web Beans checked out and installed in your local Maven 2 repository. See the next section.

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 Web Beans
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 Web Beans from SVN, just run mvn install in webbeans/. You'll find the built artifacts and current set of libraries in your maven repository. To update JBoss AS with this version of Web Beans, run ant -f jboss-as/build.xml.
For more information, see Guidelines for Web Beans RI development.
Building Seam 3
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 Web Beans. Seam 3 requires a JSR-299 implementation, so Web Beans fulfills this requirement.
mkdir webbeans-trunk cd webbeans-trunk svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/webbeans/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/webbeans/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 web beans 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/
