SEAM apps do not require a JAVA virtual machine to run.

RIA applications allow users to interact with the app via a defined interface without reloading the whole page each time user interacts with any page elements. Such apps are typically a single-page applications with one active rendering window that it can use to deliver it content. RIA apps are loaded into the browser s memory and retrieve data from databases or local SEAM files referenced by servlets.
