Seam does Ivy

I don't know anything about Seam, but I was pleased to see this bit
about it:

"JBoss AS 5 and GlassFish support added to seam-gen"

Seam is a framework for building JEE applications, which handles the
communication
between different layers transparently.
You could inject EJBs directly into JSFs. With @In and @Out you could
also set and get
values into/from objects via dependency injection. Seam also introduces
a new 'conversation' 
scopes, from which some dialogs could benefit. It also adds with
"seam-gen" a generator for
'scaffolding' - generate the skelletons for business objects, then for
the controller ...
