org.apache.naming.NamingContext

You should be using the JBoss specific initial context properties, through jndi.properties file. See this for details http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=135363

Do you mean that i have to configure my jndi.properties?
I'm just trying to deploy the registration example and i have this error.i haven't touched the source code

i'm trying to install seam on tomcat

You mean, you are deploying your application on a standalone tomcat right? And going by the exception stacktrace, that's what you are doing, i believe.

i have created a file mysql-ds.xml in seam\bootstrap\deploy

The "deploy" folder is specific to JBoss.

I am a bit confused (maybe because of my lack of Seam knowledge?). Why are you deploying the datasource into JBoss and your application in Tomcat?

Could you please provide more details about what exactly you are doing and how the application is being deployed? That will help us in pointing out, what is wrong.
