Seam New Project Won't Deploy (JBoss Tools 3.1.0, Seam 2.2.0

[davidmzen]

Hi - I am trying to get a basic SEAM project to deploy on AS 5.1. The project is created via the new Project -> Seam Web Project wizard In Eclipse Galileo.

--Problem 1--
While setting up the SEAM properties for the project the wizard asks for the seam properties Seam Runtime. I have Seam 2.2 installed but when I try to use that the wizard complains that "The selected seam appears to be of an incompatible version '2.2.0.GA''.

So get around that I installed SEAM 2.0 and the previous problem is resolved. But I have on older version of seam.

--Problem 2--
When I 'run on server' the ant script builds a .war file and deploys that. However JBOSS AS then throws exceptions 'File Not Found' trying to load files from the .war file. This is a windows system. The ant script uses the task to build the war file - should it use the ant task instead?

Anyway, so I changed the build file to deploy the seam application unapacked to try to get around this problem.

--Problem 3--
Now JBOSS throws exceptions as the seam app is loading :-

Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.JBossJSFConfigureListener
com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: CONFIGURATION FAILED! org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamApplicationFactory

googling this seems to point to some conflict in which jsf libraries are being loaded. But being unfamiliar with JSF and SEAM I'm at a loss to know what the problem here is. Any help much appreciated..

Further notes on the 1st post..

1 - googling problem 1 I saw comments that SEAM 2.0 won't run on JBOSS AS 5.1. You need SEAM >= 2.1. Is this true or false? Maybe that is a problem
but as noted previously the seam project wizard rejects the SEAM 2.2 version.

2 -
"The ant script uses the task to build the war file - should it use the ant task instead? " should read
"The ant script uses the jar task to build the war file - should it use the war task instead?"

Further info - same issue occurs with SEAM 2.1.2

I think, the best place for Seam related questions is the Seam user forum http://seamframework.org/Community/SeamUsers
