    Seam cannot find component

    arnieaustin

      I have a seam component (it is not an Entity since there is no table related to it in this application) that at run time cannot be located for some reason. I've included the errors from the log below. The User class is used in the UserLogin/UserLoginAction class, populated via the userLogin.xhtml file. I just don't see what's wrong here.

      package us.tx.state.oag.DPSLicenseInquiry.business;
      
      import org.hibernate.validator.Length;
      import org.hibernate.validator.NotNull;
      import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType;
      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
      
      import us.tx.state.oag.OagIdVault.OagIdVaultAccount;
      import us.tx.state.oag.DPSLicenseInquiry.business.User;
      
      @Name("user")
      @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
      public class User {
       private String cs_user_login = null;
       private String cs_user_password = null;
       private OagIdVaultAccount oagIdVaultAccount = null;
       public User () {}
      
       @NotNull @Length(min=2)
       public void setUserLogin(String ps_value) {
       cs_user_login = ps_value;
       }
       @NotNull
       public String getUserLogin() {
       return cs_user_login;
       }
       @NotNull @Length(min=5)
       public void setUserPassword(String ps_value) {
       cs_user_password = ps_value;
       }
       public String getUserPassword() {
       return cs_user_password;
       }
      
       public void setOagIdVaultAccount(OagIdVaultAccount po_account) {
       oagIdVaultAccount = new OagIdVaultAccount(po_account);
       }
      }
      


      The error is:

          I keep seeing messages that the seam.properties file has to be in various places for seam to pick up the class files. Well, in my projectEJB.jar, its in there, in the /meta-inf/ path. If it needs to be else where, just how/where using Eclipse do I get it in the resultant jar file?

          • 2. Re: Seam cannot find component

            seam.properties does need to be at the root of the JAR file. I'm not an eclipse user, so I'm not really sure. I believe Seam 1.1 will allow you to not use seam.properties if you have a META-INF/components.xml, but for now you'll need your seam.properties in the right place.

            To verify that Seam is finding your classes, you'll need to look at your server log when you deploy the application. You should see a message like this one that indicates seam is canning your JAR for components.

            14:05:01,891 INFO [Scanner] scanning: /Users/orb/proj/jboss/jboss-4.0/build/output/jboss-4.0.5.GA-ejb3/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmp41693jboss-seam-pay.ear-contents/jboss-seam-pay.jar



            You should also see component registration messages for your components. They will look like this:

            14:05:02,503 INFO [Component] Component: paymentHome, scope: CONVERSATION, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: org.jboss.seam.example.seampay.PaymentController


            If you aren't seeing those, you have packaging problem.

              Right. But most people won't have a META-INF/components.xml.

              Also note that this is not in BETA2.

                Hi,

                I was wondering if you solved your problem?
                Also, I'm curious to know how you integrated ldap?

                thanks,
