Seam+Spring features

I contributed an integration of Jboss Seam and Spring that has made it into Seam 1.1.7. The integration mostly covers the ability to inject instances of one into the other and the creation of Seam compontents in spring.

I think this basic integration has only scratched the surface of what is possible with a Spring and Seam integration. What I plan to work on next with the integration is:
  • Ability to replace OpenSession/EMInView filters with seam managed Session and PersistenceContexts.
  • Using a spring configured EntityManagerFactory or SessionFactory injected into Seam not obtained through JNDI.
  • Have a Spring ApplicationContext in a Seam Integration test.
What other features would you like to see in a Seam Spring integration?
