I have been facing with the similar kind of error in testing as shown below.

the jboss-seam-ioc.jar is included with the seam distribution and it should be placed in the classpath of your project. To make sure it works when running tests you need to be sure it is included in the runtime classpath of your test running tool.

Is "user" a spring bean? If you aren't using Spring then the ioc.jar won't help you.
