Configuring Seam in a Portal

To run a Seam application as a portlet, you'll need to provide certain portlet metadata (portlet.xml, etc) in addition to the usual Java EE metadata. See the examples/portal directory for an example of the booking demo preconfigured to run on JBoss Portal.

In addition, you'll need to use a portlet-specific phase listener instead of SeamPhaseListener or TransactionalSeamPhaseListener. The SeamPortletPhaseListener and TransactionalSeamPortletPhaseListener are adapted to the portlet lifecycle. I would like to offer my sincerest apologies for the name of that last class. I really couldn't think of anything better. Sorry.
