Okay - I think I get your question - but let me reiterate in case: The current portlet specification knows nothing of the concept of Seam Contexts - so how does a Portlet Context interact with a Seam Context.
I think the next portlet specification (JSR 286 ? 268 ? I always forget the number) and the forthcoming Web Bean specification should attempt to address the following scenarios: 1. Multiple portlets and Seam components deployed in a single EAR file Are Seam component instances shared across portlet instances and portlet classes when all are deployed in the same application ? 2. Multiple portlets and seam components deployed in separate EAR files Are Seam component instances in EAR A accessible to Portlet classes deployed in EAR B ? Test 1: The Seam Guess a Number portlet from this thread with a second portlet class that allows the user to 'Set' the secret number. Test 2: Same as Test 1 - with the second 'Set the Number' portlet deployed in a separate EAR file. Assuming the result of these tests show that Seam components can be shared across portlets in JBoss Portal (would be a neat 'feature' - and would make all of the folks like me out here playing with JB Portal and Seam together happy) - there are no guarantees that it will work in Jetspeed or other JSR168 containers since JSR168 has no knowledge of 'Contextual components'. I don't know how much of Seam Context is based on HTTPSession, and what layer it 'insinuates' itself in (overtop of JBoss Portal PortletSession, underneath of JBoss Portal PortletSession -- interleaved with PortletSession on some kind of lucky namespace coincidence ? - I suppose I could read the code, but the tests above will likely take me as long since I'm better at writing than reading.) I can take some time this weekend to frame up those tests - but I suspect Gavin or others here might already know whether either of these scenarios work. Also - just catching up on the thread - did anyone else get the Seam Portlet example I posted to work ? Is it Wiki worthy ? Is there changes I should make before I make a formal contribution to the Wiki ?
