Should I start my Seam project from scratch or from a seam-gen generated project?

Question

I have been using Seam-gen with a small sample database to help me learn the Seam framework. Now I am going to build a more complex application. Are there disadvantages or

Answer 1

I agree with @Arthur.

And I would like to add these:

• Use seam-gen to get quickly started with ant script, deployment and libraries.
• Do NOT use the Seam Entity/Query Framework (EntityQuery, EntityHome, EntityList classes)
  • There are many reasons for this, but mostly because it adds an extra layer of abstraction, and it is very difficult to scale and improve performance on these objects.
  • It complicates things unnecessary. Better to just develop your components and minimalize the component to only do what it is supposed to do, hence increase performance
