The top-level schema for a Seam components.xml. For more information on Seam, see http://www.seamframework.org. The components tag is a the root element for a components.xml containing multiples component definitions. The component tag defines a single Seam component. It may serve as to the root element of a fine-grained *.component.xml file. The import tag declares additional global component namespaces that will be in effect for all components. The JNDI name used to lookup the component. This value is only used with EJB components that don't follow the global JNDI pattern. The name of component The Java class of the component implementation The scope of the component The precedence of the component, expressed as a positive integer. Higher precedence components override lower precedence components. The pre-definied precedence values are: BUILT_IN = 0, FRAMEWORK = 10, APPLICATION = 20, DEPLOYMENT = 30, MOCK = 40 The installed value indicates whether or not the component definition should be installed. Indicates whether or not a components instance should be created when one doesn't exist and when the component is requested using a method that would not normally instantiate a new instance. (such as basic injection) Indicates that an instance of the component should be created when the the component's controlling scope starts. This is only used for application and session scope. A list of component names that this component depends on and that should be created before this component is started. Factories are like a component instances except their values are determined by computing a value or calling a method on another component. The name of the factory component The method binding used to evauluate the factory value. A factory should have either a method binding or a value binding, but not both. The value binding used to evauluate the factory value. A factory should have either a method binding or a value binding, but not both. The scope of the factory value Indicates whether or not the factory value should be created when one doesn't exist and when the component is requested using a method that would not normally instantiate a new instance. (such as basic injection) A generic property. The body contains the value or values. The property name Concrete type to use if the property is multi-valued For map values, the key for the following value For list values, the value to be added. For map values, the value for the preceding key An event handler definition The event type to handle The action to be taken when the event occurs An EL expression to be invoked when the event is invoked
