jboss-seam-1.0.0.CR2 infinite loop instantiating localeSelec

[baz]

Hello,
i tried to migrate my application to jboss-seam-1.0.0.CR2.
But i get an infinite loop when seam tries to instantiate localeSelector

With seam 1.0beta2 the application runs well on Tomcat 5.5.15 with hibernate deployed in the jboss microcontainer.

After copying these jars
jboss-seam.jar
jboss-ejb3-all.jar, jbpm-3.1.1.jar, portlet-api-lib.jar, thirdparty-all.jar

to the WEB-INF/lib folder of the application i deleted in this folder all jboss*.jars and some others which seems to be included in thirdparty-all.jar.

Starting Tomcat results in nothing special. But pointing to the application in a webbrowser results in an infinite loop.
I tried to deploy the hibernate example of Seam. This example does run well.
So what is special about my app (especially the first page)?
1. I do use <f:loadbundle> and all my labels are fetched from a resourcebundle.
2. In faces.config.xml there is this configuration

<application>
 <view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</view-handler>
 <message-bundle>lims</message-bundle>
 <locale-config>
 <default-locale>en</default-locale>
 <supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
 <supported-locale>de</supported-locale>
 <supported-locale>fr</supported-locale>
 </locale-config>
 </application>

If i remove the locale-config and message-bundle i get the same result: infinite loop

Why is localeSelector instansiated and does this result in an infinite loop?
Which jars are included in thirdparty-all.jar in case i have forgotten to delete a separate jar?
Any clue?
Ciao,
Carsten

I had the same issue.
It seems to be happening when the log level is set to debug for Seam classes (method toString() applied to LocalSelector causes the loop in a certain situation).
After setting the log level to info it worked.

Hello,
finally i solved the problem for me.
It seems that jstl.jar (in my application) was not compatibel with the new Seam release.
After copying this library from the seam release to my app, all is well.
Ciao,
Carsten

I could not reproduce this.

I faced exactly the same problem. And could npt solve it untill moverd the seam classes log threshhold to INFO

[tuomas_kiviaho]

There is a trace/debug switch after component instantiation that inspects the component which is in this case LocaleSelector. There are couple of properties (country, language and variant) that cause an indirect cycle via Seams own faces view handler when calculating the locales.

Well tuomas,

that didn't make much sense (I am new to JBoss, JSF). do you mean that there is something that we could do, a property file or something else to change?

I forgot to include the JIRA issue as a link here. <http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-223>. That was a short description what actually goes on inside Seam. What you can do now externally is to adjust your logging level threshold. TRACE/DEBUG will generate an infinite loop, but INFO skips the crucial part of the code.

I have compiled the seam myself without jboss build system so I have no idea what kind of initial setup there is for ACL logging system that Seam uses starting from 1.0.0.CR2 or if there is one.

I skimmed though the JBoss AS file that was set with default levels and I think the FILE appender is accepting TRACE/DEBUG levels and there is a matching category available

<!-- Limit JBoss categories



-->

uncommenting that or duplicating it and chaning the category as org.jboss.seam should fix your problem.

[tuomas_kiviaho]

What was left out from previous post was

category name="org.jboss"
priority value="INFO"
category

that should have been between the comment tags

[gvl]

Thanx for the info,

I actually tried setting

 <category name="org.jboss.seam">
 <priority value="INFO"/>
 </category>

in \jboss-4.0.4CR2\server\default\conf\log4j.xml

under

<!-- Limit categories -->

and that also fixed the issue.

I will look into this issue ASAP.
