error deploying seam-booking example...

[patrick_ibg]

I've got JBoss 4.0.3SP1 from the zip distribution, and I've copied the EJB3 RC5-PFD jars into the "server/all" directory, as per Bill Burke's doc and ran using "run.sh -c all"... so far so good.

Downloaded a Seam CVS snapshot, jboss-seam-CVS20060203.zip... unzipped, built and deployed the sample jboss-seam-booking.ear file to "server/all/deploy", and I got the following exception on deployment:

Any ideas?

I just tested the current CVS of booking app against the current (4.0.4rc1) CVS of JBoss, and all was working fine.

I have not tried to install the EJB3 release in JBoss 4.0.3SP1, but I understood that Thomas had tried that out and had no problem.

Thanks Gavin...

I switched strategies and decided to get 4.0.4 RC1, and that seems to be working fine with the Seam example code. I am now porting my old Seam code. Seems fairly straightforward so far, and really very easy when using Eclipse.

For others who might be attempting to check out 4.0.4 RC1 from CVS, you want to use the command:

cvs checkout -r JBoss_4_0_4_RC1 jboss-4.0.x

(This caused me a bit of confusion at first, trying to figure out which module, then which label to check out.)
