Gavin, I appreciate that you must have a thousand things, but let me just say that one of the best things about Spring (besides IoC, AOP, etc.) is the Acegi framework because one of the biggest problems with open source frameworks is that security seems to be an afterthought.
I will admit that I haven't used Seam yet, but it looks really great because I'm already on the Java 5, EJB3 bandwagon, and expect to jump on the JSF bandwagon very soon. Security is one area where I wonder if Seam is deficient, and I get the impression that I am not alone. I think that if this area was better documented, you would see greater committment for Seam. I know you mentioned that you felt that Acegi is tightly integrated with Spring (and they even admit it). Would it be a big deal to run Seam with Spring core and Acegi? Are you aware of a technical reason as to why this is a bad idea, or is it philosophical (like why have two IoC mechanisms?). Because this was sort of my plan (at least for the short term). Maybe Acegi should be submitted to the JCP much like how Seam has been. Finally, how big is the Seam team?
