⁠5.4. Creating a form with an action

The next step is to create a form. Type: seam new-form

Buildfile: C:\Projects\jboss-seam\seam-gen\build.xml

validate-workspace:

validate-project:

action-input:
    [input] Enter the Seam component name
hello
    [input] Enter the local interface name [Hello]

    [input] Enter the bean class name [HelloBean]

    [input] Enter the action method name [hello]

    [input] Enter the page name [hello]


setup-filters:

new-form:
     [echo] Creating a new stateful session bean component with an action method
     [copy] Copying 1 file to C:\Projects\hello\src\hot\com\hello
     [copy] Copying 1 file to C:\Projects\hello\src\hot\com\hello
     [copy] Copying 1 file to C:\Projects\hello\src\hot\com\hello\test
     [copy] Copying 1 file to C:\Projects\hello\view
     [copy] Copying 1 file to C:\Projects\hello\src\hot\com\hello\test
     [echo] Type 'seam restart' and go to http://localhost:8080/hello/hello.seam

Restart the application again, and go to http://localhost:8080/helloworld/hello.seam. Look at the generated code. Experiment with adding new fields to the form and Seam component. (Remember to restart the deployment each time you alter the Java code.)
