Show me your components.xml and seam.properties.

[ms57]

Hi Gavin

my "seam.properties" is empty & "components.xml" file contains the follow:

<components>

 <component name="org.jboss.seam.core.init">
 <property name="debug">true</property>
 <property name="myFacesLifecycleBug">false</property>
 <property name="jndiPattern">#{ejbName}/local</property>
 </component>

 <!-- 120 second conversation timeout -->
 <component name="org.jboss.seam.core.manager">
 <property name="conversationTimeout">120000</property>
 </component>

 <component class="org.jboss.seam.core.Ejb"
 installed="true"/>

</components>

Then I dunno, you'll have to use your debugger.
