Hi, previously I have been using Struts and am now considering using Seam for
my web applications.
In Struts, the requested URL is used to find an action in the struts-config.xml
(controller configuration), and Struts then invokes my Action class and finally
displays the JSP or other view component.
In Seam/JSF, how does this logic work? I've looked at the Jave 5 EE tutorial
on JSF, and the model they have for request processing, but it makes no mention
of Seam.
Can someone help us former Struts users by explaining some of these issues:
a) when I go to a Seam URL, e.g. seam-registration/register.seam, is the URL
processed by JSF or by Seam?
b) for the register.seam URL, does JSF/Seam simply look for a JSP file with the
same name, e.g. does it look for register.jsp, or if I put the URL help.seam,
does it look for help.jsp? Or is there some more complicated decision making
that helps it decide which page to use or which bean to invoke?
c) is there any direct relationship between the Seam component names (e.g. the
session bean annotated with @Name("register")) and the URL /register.seam?
d) I notice that for the dvd.xhtml page in the DVD example, you explicitly
point to an action by using the pages.xml - but for other pages, you have
nothing in pages.xml. Why is it that you have to explicitly put this code in
pages.xml for some pages and not for others?
e) Could someone possibly add a section to the Seam documentation to discuss
the URLs, and what the average developer needs to know about the relationship
between a URL ending in .seam and the underlying beans and JSP.
