What is a SEAM file?

SEAM files mostly belong to Seam by Red Hat. SEAM is the filename extension which Seam (previously JBoss Seam) web development framework attaches to a resource when a client requests that resource from a server. This means, SEAM is only attached to a server address in a browser's address bar. The extension is not attached to a real file, instead, it serves as a virtual pointer to a servlet on a Java web server.
