Seam is certainly stable enough to use in production as many companies have proven this fact. But there is something that can make you feel better about the situation. Seam is a JBoss GA product, in addition to being an open source project. What that means is that if you do run into a problem with Seam, whether it be technical or performance-related, you know that you can pick up the phone (given you have a support contract) and get a team of engineers (some of which include the Seam project members) working on the problem. I find that important. To back that up with more reassurance, Seam is currently undergoing a rather rigorous look into improving performance, an initiative which came out of using Seam (and thus encountering production-level challenges) developing and running seamframework.org, a site built entirely using Seam.

Hi Dan,
I have a doubt about this support contract you mentioned. Let's suppose I choose Seam as the framework that will help me building my application. If I have some critical problem when using Seam (that I only noticed when the application was in production), I will only have a way to solve this problem if I have a support contract?
And let's suppose the company I work for decides to buy a support contract from JBoss. If, someday, we decide not having Seam support no more, is it possible to let the application using pure JEE, without the features Seam provide?
Thank you.

Fourthly, why isn't there a clustered version of one of the Seam distro examples? seems kinda strange...

JBoss/Redhat EAP "certified stack" seems to have QC issues as evidenced by the recent bug we ran into in EAP 4.3 which caused failover to not work when a node in a cluster goes down. This was due to problems with HTTPSession invalidation and we received a class from JBoss - ClusteredJBossSeamListener - that fixed the problem for my clustered version of the hotel booking project. Here is the JIRA for this bug: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5778

Fifthly, this new concept of the "feature pack" http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/4.3.0.cp02_fp01/html-single/readme/index.html
that JBoss/Redhat just recently introduced is very strange. why would JBoss combine tech preview libraries into a feature pack which is recommended to be used with EAP 4.3 CP02? that seems kinda dangerous if you use beta software in a prod EAP stack.
We are currently setting up a 2 node horizontal cluster in production
using IIS, Windows 2003 server, mod_jk, JBoss EAP 4.3 and SQL Server.
Here are my detailed instructions to set that up (it's a major pain to do it on your own, trust me): http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=143069
