As Pete said in another thread earlier today:

But the reality is that the generated files are really just a starting point 
for adaptation to a working application.  As it is, there is scarce info about 
how the dozens of functions in EntityHome and EntityList are intended to be 
used and extended. Most of the functions don't even have javadoc.

The Seam reference manual has gotten quite a bit better from 1.2.1 to 2.0.0 
(e.g. I found the sequence diagram for authentication quite enlightening) -- 
but I still don't see good examples of how the seamgen'd classes work and how 
they are expected to be extended (isWired(), wire(), getDefinedId(),  etc.).  
None of the supplied examples use a seam-gen bootstrapped architecture, so 
we're left with no docs and no examples...
