    Anybody got seam 2.0 portlets working?

      Environment:
      JBoss Portal Version: 2.6.3
      Did you get Portal from CVS? or download it? --> download binaries
      JBoss AS Version --> 4.2.2.GA
      Database Vendor and Version --> Oracle 10g
      JDBC Connector and Version --> ojdbc14.jar
      OS Platform --> Windows XP

      Problem/Question
      I know this has been posted before, but am unable to verify wether anybody has successfully implemented portlets based on Seam 2.0.

      Is there anybody out there who has made a simple working seam 2.0 portlet, and has starting with seam-gen?

      I did get the examples working (well, more or less: there are still serious issues like several links that don't work, but at least the portlet shows in the portal), following this blog entry: http://blog.jboss-portal.org/2007/11/seam-20-portlet-example.html

      But when I try to cook my own Seam 2.0 portlets I am getting all kinds of errors, the last one being:

      17:07:04,530 ERROR [STDERR] Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.portlet.faces.GenericFacesPortlet
