Where is JBoss Seam most popular

Hi all,

I have been using JBoss Seam now for over a year and still haven't seen much acceptance here in the US. My metrics are, the number of jobs that indicate JBoss Seam and number of people talking about JBoss Seam (Java groups / JBoss Seam groups, etc.).

Is JBoss Seam more popular outside the US?

You should have a look at what Seam features have gone in the JEE 6 specification (CDI, JSF) and then consider how the world will look when JEE 6 is the mainstream version used "everywhere".

All I can point to is the "Seam in Production" site where people/companies that use Seam can put them selves on the wiki.

Seam in Production page 1
Seam in Production page 2

We use Seam outside US. Of course its not as big as Spring, but I believe it should be. I really like the framework, and find it very easy to use. However, it takes a little time to understand the inner workings of Seam. Maybe thats where they have failed to adopt more users.

@Shervin Good, Shervin (+1) But keep in mind Spring also takes a little time to understand the inner workings and its maturiry **is older** than Seam. Pete Muir and Dan Allen has done a good job on Seam to promote it.

Yeah, I noticed those pages, but I guess I'm looking more for development jobs that use Seam explicitly. I would like to work with Seam more than Spring.

@Shervin, I don't see many postings in the US there. Is there another url that has more listings? If I search for Seam, I get a single page (12 records). If I look at recent activity, there are 4 listings.

@Walter: I see that there are mostly jobs for abroad there now, but keep an eye on that page.Also on monster.com I found some jobs directly related to Seam in the U.Shttp://jobview.monster.com/Senior-Enterprise-Java-Engineer-Role-Seam-JBoss-Job-Raleigh-NC-86894885.aspx

@Shervin, that is a start. Thanks

When I left Brazil, it was getting popular slowly. It is quite popular in Australia where I live and there are lot of jobs requiring JBoss Seam.

I decide to put all my effort in Seam because I believe JSF2 + Seam will be amazing! Just the best framework for JEE.

Struts (maybe Spring) is more popular because there are a lot of legacy systems using it. It doesn't mean it is better or worse than Seam.

I really believe in Seam and philosophy behind this framework.
