problems with jboss-seam-booking example

[vlad_oz]

Hi,
I'm new to jboss seam framework. Trying to get the booking example running. Downloaded JBoss IDE and followed the instructions in the "movie". Can build and deploy jboss-seam and the examples ok. The login page and the registration page of the booking example work fine. But when I try to register a new user I get the following error:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not instantiate Seam component

org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamRedirectFilter.doFilter(SeamRedirectFilter.java:23)

Many thanks in advance!

did your application deploy w/o any errors ? Check your datasource started up correctly and you have it configured for your database ?

also look in server/log for the log file which has debug info

[vlad_oz]

Hi.. sorry for the late reply.
Yes, the application compiles and deployes with no errors.
The database wasn't configured, so I've done that. Getting a different error now (any idea what that could mean?):
Thanks for your help, much appreciated

[gavin.king]

What version of JBoss is this? is EJB3 installed in JBoss?

[vlad_oz]

I'm using JBoss 4.0.4RC1
I've copied the EJB3 jars into the server\default\lib directory.

[gavin.king]

You should reinstall JBoss using the installer, and selecting the ejb3 profile.

I've no idea if "copying jars" works (probably not).

[vlad_oz]

Thanks for your reply. Incorrect JBoss installation was the problem. I've reinstalled with EJB3.0 option and all is working well now.
Once again, thanks a lot for your help!
