    Is there a workable version of JBossSEAM?

    vottak

      Well... Downloaded suggested JBossSEAM and one of the nightly builds jboss-seam-CVS.20060809.
      Followed short guide. Got 2 *.ear files with different sizes. After deployment both shows ERRORs.

      OK. So I decided to follow JBossSeamGettingStartedGuide.
      In step #4 I noticed that I am creating progect "simple" although on the picture there is also a progect "jboss-seam-1.0.1GA. How to create that one using downloaded files? Is that progect important at all?
      In step #5 after I typed "seam scaffold-wtp-project sample" I got this:
      "BUILD FAILED
      C:\jboss\seam\seam-gen\build.xml:71: C:\jboss\seam\seam-gen\src not found."

      Also tried to follow JBossSEAMReverseEngineerGuide.
      When I generated a skeleton Seam application(from Oracle 9, 1 table only) I got:
      import javax.ejb.Interceptors;
      Had to change it to:
      import javax.interceptor.Interceptors;
      after this change I was able to deploy *.ear but it failed during deployment as:

      later I got:

      Anyway... I killed a couple of days to get these results while I expected to get some working code. So here is a question:
      Can anyone point me to the right direction on how to make it work or where to get workable versions which are working as it is described in Guides?
      All responses are highly appreciated. Thank you very much.




        • 1. Re: Is there a workable version of JBossSEAM?
          smokingapipe

          Make sure you're using the right version of JBoss!

          JBoss 4.04 GA does not work with Seam apparently.

          You need to get:

          http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=193295&release_id=424215

          Try that and see if it helps.

          • 2. Re: Is there a workable version of JBossSEAM?

            Make sure you use the JEMS installer and the ejb3 profile, as is mentioned in the docs. Edit jboss.home in build.properties in the root of the seam distribution. Then you can build examples. I recommend the booking example, since it comes with a bunch of "help" files you can view while using it that demonstrate seam's features.

            I've never gotten seam to work with eclipse WTP, nor does seam-gen work for me. I continue to vent my spleen about this fact on the forums, but I did have success with netbeans by following this guide: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/bleonard/archive/2006/05/trying_out_jbos.html

            As a bonus, the aforementioned blog entry shows you exactly how seam components replace JSF backing beans, which as a newbie to JSF, I found fairly educational.

            Some people have reported success with java studio creator and its spiffy wysiwyg jsp and page flow editors. Personally I'd like to use drools and jBPM, so I will have to stick with eclipse, but eclipse and seam are both fighting me every step of the way there. Somewhat ironic considering JBoss's close relationship with eclipse.

              I got Seam to work with MyEclipse 5.0 in combination with Exadel Studio. Works perfect for me. I used the JBoss 4.04 GA jems installer and used the portal setting. I added the EJB3 libraries myself. I did this to also be able to test the integration with a portal.

                People are reporting that seam-gen is working fine for them in Eclipse, chuckadams, did you succeed now ? what's wrong otherwise ?

                In the meantime we are working on a Eclipse plugin, any volunteer to help ?

                  Thanks a lot for all your suggestion. I'll spend this day to check all of them. My gole is actually to produce a working code. How it will be done is more or less does not matter.
                  I'll come back with results.
                  I really appreciate all your inputs.

                    OK something happening here. Tried combination of JBoss from
                    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=193295&release_id=424215
                    (thanks SmokingAPipe) and jboss-seam-1.0.1.GA(jboss-seam-1.0.0.CR3 did not work properly) and it works... Good.
                    Will try seam-gen in a minute. I saw that chuckadams had the same problems as I did yesterday. (BTW. Thanks to chuckadams for the info)
                    Let you know as soon as I have something.

                    • 7. Re: Is there a workable version of JBossSEAM?

                      seam-gen is working for me now, I just had to create the empty bin/ directory (cvs probably pruned it) and make sure I had it installed under the seam distribution. I look forward to getting it running on my work machine today

                      • 8. seam-gen does not work
                        vottak

                        Wasted another day, just to make sure that seam-gen is not working.

                        In JBossSeamGettingStartedGuideStep4
                        After creating a projects... in project sampleEJB... error:

                        Is this an expected behavior:

                        So is it expected or no?

                        Next.
                        After issuing "seam scaffold-wtp-project sample" it looks for "src" directory under C:\seam-workspace\jboss-seam-1.0.1.GA\seam-gen
                        and if it is missing build fails. Well I made it happy when I add empty "src" dir there. It did not use it, so why is that directory required?

                        Next difference I notice when I tried to follow the guide to change build path and library dependencies.
                        On the picture I saw "JBOSS 4.0" library... which is missing in my project. Should I add J2EE 1.4 library(JBOSS-IDE)?

                        Besides, When I click on "Add JARs..." I got "JAR selection" window which has red cross and "No entries available".
                        Besides, I looked in "sample" directory and it does not contain "lib" directory.

                        I do not see how it can be worked out from this point on.
                        Of course, your suggestions are welcome

                          Yes... This day is completely waisted. (Still have one more to go till management will kill this idea)

                          Was not able to locate necessary jars at the recommended places, so, got them from:

                          into:

                          Is there any guide following which I will be able to generate the code(using correct version of Eclipse(I'm using 3.2, with JBoss Eclipse IDE 1.6.0 GA, HibernateTools 3.1.0.beta5, with JBoss installation recommended by chuckadams), than please let me know. As I still have one day to burn...

                          Thanks a lot.

                            • When you create a new project, you will always get the "must contain one or more enterprise beans" error. seam-gen will add beans for you and that error will go away. If it doesn't, close the project and reopen it. Eclipse's validators sometimes just get stuck.

                            • The SEVERE warning about the missing build.properties file is normal -- you'll notice it creates it immediately afterward. Ant is just too verbose for its own good.

                            • Create the src directory then run scaffold-wtp-project. If you don't have it first, it won't complete.

                              That is what I did. And compilation was "SUCCESSFULL"

                              But this is what was wrong after that:

                              After issuing "seam scaffold-wtp-project sample" it looks for "src" directory under C:\seam-workspace\jboss-seam-1.0.1.GA\seam-gen
                              and if it is missing build fails. Well I made it happy when I add empty "src" dir there. It did not use it, so why is that directory required?

                              Next difference I notice when I tried to follow the guide to change build path and library dependencies.
                              On the picture I saw "JBOSS 4.0" library... which is missing in my project. Should I add J2EE 1.4 library(JBOSS-IDE)?

                              Besides, When I click on "Add JARs..." I got "JAR selection" window which has red cross and "No entries available".
                              Besides, I looked in "sample" directory and it does not contain "lib" directory.

                                All the lib/ subdirectory is is a copy of ../lib. The lack of a lib directory suggests that either scaffold-wtp-project didn't complete, the project name wasn't provided, or seamgen wasn't installed and run from a subdirectory of a complete seam installation.

                                You should probably paste in the text of your whole session with seam-gen, from set-properties to scaffold-wtp-project. Try it with a new eclipse project, since this one doesn't seem to have been generated right. I recommend creating the server connection first (New->Other->Server. JBoss 4.0 will appear under two menus, it doesn't matter which you use). Then when you create your new enterprise archive project, pick the server you configured, and it should add the correct libs for you.

                                  This:

                                  Needed to change:
                                  import javax.ejb.Interceptors;
                                  into:
                                  import javax.interceptor.Interceptors;


                                  clearly shows that you are not running a good seam/jboss AS combination.

                                  The starting guide states that you need JBoss 1.0.1.GA with the EJB3 profile of JBoss Jems installer

                                  The "necessary Jars" are shipped (for compilation) with JBoss Seam (under the name jboss-ejb3-all.jar)


                                  Finally it seems that you are now running your own example created with the Hibernate tools, you could show us the Java source file so we can help you

                                    Well... You made me to try it again... I did... and seam-gen generated the code and I was able to get to the end of guide.

                                    Still have some questions.
                                    When I "publish"(using Eclipse 3.2) sample.ear is being moved to $JBOSS_HOME/jboss-4.0.4.GA/server/default,all,minimal/deploy ... And when I start JBoss from $JBOSS_HOME/bin than the example is working(looks like).
                                    If I try to start JBoss from Eclipse than I got error in console "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Files/jboss-4/0/4/GA/bin////lib/endorsed"
                                    and error window (Java Virtual Machine Lancher) "Could not find the main class. Program will exit".
                                    Looks like configuration of JBoss in Eclipse is a bit off, or I miss something.
                                    Any idea?
                                    Thanks
