I'm going to do a Seam webinar (think live podcast with slides) on June 7th. (Wednesday) I'm going to talk about the Seam component model and how it can simplify the architecture of Java EE applications. I'm not going to dive deep into code or walk through an application, instead I will show how Seam's rich component model (state, behavior and events) makes for simpler applications than the simple stateless model that is unfortunate focus of most current web architectures.
That's a pretty big statement, but I can back that up. If you want to see how, you can register for the webinar. If you can't make it live, you should be able to catch the recording on the webinar page afterwards.
