Seam lets you specify navigation rules in the pages.xml file which can become very large for apps with many pages and transitions. Seam allows you to break this file into multiple small files. This allows you to easily manage large applications by creating multiple pages.xml files, typically one per page. This article describes how to create multiple pages.xml files in Seam 2.2.

Spring 2.5 classpath scan does not work on JBoss5 due to internal architecture changes in JBoss5. You may face this issue when migrating from JBoss4 to JBoss5. This article walks you through a simple fix, with code snippets.

When I tried migrating my JBoss 4.2 application which uses Spring to manage transactions, to JBoss 5.1, I got the following error message.

This article shows how to deploy your war to JBoss using maven and cargo. It also shows how to integration test your JBoss applications using selenium by automatically deploying the war, running the tests and then automatically undeploying the war. All using maven, selenium and cargo!

It is a good practice to startup JBoss outside the scope of maven and use cargo to redeploy your app. Cargo uses the jmx-console over http to deploy and no file path configuration is needed! This only works with JBoss running locally as a file: reference to the war file is passed over http.
