One of my first web projects with Java was a seam project running on the tomcat. At a time when we worked on this project (in 2009) there was not lots of advice how to properly configured seam to runs on tomcat using maven. Also manufacturer recommend using of JBoss and Tomcat is only recommend as testing platform. Some days ago I have chatted with my colleague about configuring seam framework on the JBoss, and of course on the net you can find a lot advices and instructions, what not surprise me, because this is recommended choice by manufacturer. But that encourage me to research a net one more time and check is situation with tomcat changed after two years. But on my surprise, the list of useful posts with this topic is not much increased by the time when we used tomcat and seam.
