Trouble Deploying Seam App To Tomcat

[strickla]

I'm trying to deploy my seam app on Tomcat (with embedded JBoss) without much luck. I'm getting the following exception but it doesn't make much sense to me.

I've read and followed all the steps in http://docs.jboss.com/seam/2.0.0.B1/reference/en/html/configuration.html#config.install.embedded and http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=EmbeddedAndTomcat, including adding the embedded JBoss listener (last) in server.xml and the WEB-INF scanner listener in context.xml.

I WAS able to run ant deploy.tomcat on the Seam booking example and it works just fine. I then tried modeling my app config files after the booking ones but I'm still getting the exception below. Any help/clues are appreciated.

Sorry I should have mentioned: I'm using Tomcat 6.0.13 and Seam 2.0 Beta1

also, here is my components.xml:

Looks like it has not deployed the persistence unit named "mmogwidgets". Is persistence.xml deployed correctly?

[strickla]

No I don't think it was because I was initially confused as to the package structure of the deployed booking.war that I tried to mimic...here's a question. Why does seam setup not generate a project structure or build.xml that is equivalent to the seam examples?

It would be trivial for me to duplicate the war setup for my project to be deployed to tomcat if all I had to do was run ant deploy.tomcat on MY project.

As it is, it isn't trivial to move that target or Its dependency targets over to the generated build.xml because of the project structure differences.

[strickla]

I've also noticed that I can't seem to have more than one Seam application deployed on Tomcat at once. It looks like including libs like jboss-seam.jar in each of your deployed applications causes problems.

The following exceptions are generated:

Yeah, I don't know the answer to this problem myself. Please chase Bill on this one. Thanks.

Theres an issue in JIRA to track this. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1663
