      Hi all
      I am new to Seam framework. I want to deploy one of the examples of the Seam framework (jboss-seam-numberguess) into Tomcat (ver. 5.5.9 with Jdk5) but during deployment following exception occurs:

      -------------------

      ---------------
      please help me out, it really confused me. I didnt change any line of the codes or configuration file everything is the same as in seam framework zip file.

      any help will be appreciated.

      regards

          That is _extremely_ wierd. It is working perfectly for me on Tomcat 5.5.12.

          Do you have any other applications installed in the server?

            Hi
            yes I have some other application, but first of all I delete any additional jar file from the tomcat lib directory and tried to deploy my seam application but the problem didnt resolved. let me tell you, I put every needed jar files on the lib directory of the project, afterwards, I put some of them in the lib of tomcat. just that, I never did any thing else.

            thanks

              Just to make sure, you have deployed the example by typing "ant deploy.tomcat" in a totally fresh unzip of the Seam distributing, right? Not by some other means...

                No I am using Eclipse to run the Ant task. but again, I tried to build a war file myself to deploy it.

                Are you mean I do it in command console by typing "ant..."?

                  Definitely don't try to build the war file yourself.

                  The Ant task does some replacements of @foo@ in components.xml.

                    Hi Gavin

                    I ran the command "ant deploy.tomcat" and ant build a war file to deploy into Tomcat but still the problem exists. however, the error message has been changed to this:

                    -------------
                    now as you can see it can not register the listener.

                    thank you in advance

                      if you see the error messages somewhere it warned :

                      WARN 03-07 08:30:52,250 (Log4JLogger.java:warn:104) -There should only be one Seam phase listener per application

                      and it seems there are more than one listener registered, however, it might be a useless warning.

                        Resolved

                        I deleted all useless jar files of Tomcal lib directory and undeployed other application and also use ant command to deploy the project. and now everything is OK.

                        thank you so much Gavin

                          I ran into the same problems while building the war file with my own build file.

                          But the exception only occurs if you forget to replace the properties @xxx@ in the components.xml. If I replace them with ant, everything is fine...
