Seam is a framework for web application, which combines the existing popular frameworks – EJB and JSF. A back-end component of an enterprise (EJB) can be accessed by the front-end by addressing its name of the Seam component.

The concept of ‘context’ is expanded by Seam. The context contains each Seam component. The context of a session captures the actions of all logged in users until he logs out. A command line tool seam-gen can be used to automatically generate the actions – create, read, update, delete (CRUD) of a web application. The integration of Seam can be with JBOSS, RichFaces or ICEFaces AJAX libraries.
