Introduction

Seam integrates Hibernate Validator and lets you use it for data validation (even if you are not using Hibernate for persistence). Most Seam application use session beans as JSF action listeners. Seam lets you use a JSF EL expression inside EJB-QL. Under the covers, this results in an ordinary JPA setParameter() call on the standard JPA Query object.
