Seam in Action By Dan Allen foreword by Norman Richards, Published by Manning Seam in Action offers an objective and in-depth look at Seam, an integration framework that combines many aspects of Java EE, corrects shortcomings in its technologies (JSF, EJB, JPA) and fills in gaps where they interface, all while reducing the platform's complexity. This feat is achieved through a consistent use of stateful components, annotations, the EL, and XHTML-based templates, giving you maximum distance out of every keystroke. The book has a strong focus on persistence, which Seam actually gets right by teeing it up on the conversation--a stateful context which spans a sequence of requests, serves as an business-intelligent cache to reduce load on the database, and eliminates lazy instantiation problems that plague many applications. As you advance through this book, you'll find your application and understanding of enterprise Java mature quickly as you master technologies you thought you'd never have time to learn. Seam in Action is the ideal resource and must have guide for applying Seam effectively. Purchase from Manning | Purchase from Amazon

Hibernate Search in Action By Emmanuel Brenard and John Griffin, Published by Manning Good search capability is one of the primary demands of a business application. Engines like Lucene provide a great starting point, but with complex applications it can be tricky to implement. It's tough to keep the index up to date, deal with the mismatch between the index structure and the domain model, handle querying conflicts, and so on. Hibernate Search is an enterprise search tool based on Hibernate Core and Apache Lucene. It provides full text search capabilities for Hibernate-based applications without the infrastructural code required by other search engines. With this free, open-source technology, you can quickly add high-powered search features in an intelligent, maintainable way. Hibernate Search in Action is a practical, example-oriented guide for Java developers with some background in Hibernate Core. As the first book to cover Hibernate Search, it guides you through every step to set up full text search functionality in your Java applications. The book also introduces core search techniques and reviews the relevant parts of Lucene, in particular the query capabilities. Hibernate Search in Action also provides a pragmatic, how-to exploration of more advanced topics such as Search clustering. For anyone using Hibernate or JBoss Seam, this book is the definitive guide on how to add or enhance search features in their applications. Purchase from Manning | Purchase from Amazon

JBoss Seam: Simplicity and Power Beyond Java EE 5 By Michael Yuan and Thomas Heute, Forward by Gavin King, Published by Prentice Hall JBoss Seam is the "missing framework that should have been in Java EE 5.0". It glues together EJB 3.0 and JSF components under a unified POJO framework and hence greatly simplifies Java EE 5.0 web applications. Seam provides advanced state management facilities that enable us to develop new types of web applications that are impossible (or very hard to do) in previous generations of enterprise Java frameworks. For instance, with Seam we can build web applications with multiple isolated workspaces -- those applications behave like multiple window desktop applications. Seam also supports integrating long running and multiple-actor business processes in web applications. In this book, you will learn how to use Seam through a series of concrete examples and tutorials. Purchase from Amazon
