Yesterday the mailman brought the copy of “JBoss Seam - Simplicity and Power beyond Java EE” by Michael Juntao Yuan and Thoma Heute which I asked Finalist to order for me.

I managed to read the first two chapters. My first impression is that it’s a bit ‘jumpy’. Chapter two contains so many references to upcoming chapters that it tends to loose its’ structure.

Funny to see that the book starts of with ‘cumbersome XML base J2ee frameworks’ but quickly resorts to the shorthand notation ’spring’. I understand that people find spring to be heavy on XML, but hey… weren’t the JBoss people the ones who introduced tons of Hibernate mapping files?
