First Deploy and Getting an Error

[edgar.silva]

Hi guys,

I have been studing using the Seam Documentation, using seam-gen I generated everything fine. However, when I try to deploy the first application I am getting the following error:

13:36:49,412 ERROR [[/soujavapapers]] Error configuring application listener of class org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener
 at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1358)
 at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1204)

I am using the following development enviroment:
- MacOS
- Eclipse 3.1
- JDK 5.0 (MAC)
- JBoss SEAM 1.2.1GA

Trying to fix it: I can see that the MyFace's jars are not present on WEB-INF/lib, but on build my build.xml generated by seam I can see the code on "WAR TASK":

<copy todir="${war.dir}/WEB-INF/lib">
 <fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
 <include name="ajax4jsf*.jar" />
 <include name="richfaces*.jar" />
 <include name="oscache*.jar" />
 <include name="jsf-facelets.jar" />
 <include name="jboss-seam-*.jar" />
 <exclude name="jboss-seam-gen.jar" />
 </fileset>
 </copy>

I guess, that is not necessary due to these jars may be found on some other folder into my JBoss running enviroment.

As it is my first trying using JBoss Seam, I am sure can have a logical answer to that problem... Anybody could help me with that?

If you are using JBoss AS 4.0.5.GA myfaces is installed into the AS so isn't needed in WEB-INF/lib.

How did you install JBoss?

Hi Patemuir,

I am using jboss-4.2.0.CR1 , I just donwload and unziped it on my file system. I am running it using JDK 5 on MacOsX.

Do you have some idea about what does this errors means?

Thanks

Edgar

JBoss 4.2 comes with the RI. Follow the instructions in the manual to use the RI not myfaces

Or get the latest version from CVS. Norman's been working on updating Seam and all the examples to run in JBoss 4.2.x, I'm not sure if seam-gen has been updated yet but you might be lucky, otherwise it won't be long.

No -seam-gen will get updated today.
