G4jsf and Seam success

[detiber]

I was able to get G4jsf and Seam running with help from Rob Jellinghaus and a custom Phase Listener.

The problem I was having was an IllegalStateException, specifically:

Error call :Error send event to component: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No phase id bound to current thread (make sure you do not have two SeamPhaseListener instances installed)

The problem ended up being with the interaction of the SeamPhaseListener and the GwtPhaseListener. I solved this by:

1. Disabling the GwtPhaseListener in gwtjsf.jar/META-INF/faces-config.xml.
2. Creating a custom phase listener that extends SeamPhaseListener and performs the same tasks as the GwtPhaseListener in addition to the SeamPhaseListener.
3. Replacing the SeamPhaseListener with the custom phase listener in my project WEB-INF/faces-config.xml

Accidentally hit Submit instead of Preview. Here is the custom phase listener:

Seems similar to the problem with Seam EL resolver, see
