EJB3 Seam GWT

I just finished a prototype to test EJB3, Seam 2.0.0.GA with GWT-Remoting, and GWT 1.4.60.

It was, for the most part, a success!

First, before people get excited, what does NOT work:
What has been proven to work:
  • Stateless Session Bean simply exposed for GWT Web Application consumption for regular types (String, Integer, Long, Float) both as returns and parameters.
  • SLSB with DTO's exposed for GWT Web Application consumption.
  • GWT Sample Web Application successfully presenting the results of the Service calls to associated SLSB's exposed for Seam-GWT remoting.
Caveat - I am no GWT expert by any means. This project is simply a prototype to proof the integration points between existing EJB3 applications and changing the UI presentation layer to GWT in the least-difficult manner.

HELP: How do I share my project through blogger.com? For now, you can click on the JIRA link and get the uploaded file there - read the readme.txt and modify the Model for IsSerializable.
