Using a JavaEE5 compliant JBoss container

[deepsix]

Hi,

I have to use a JavaEE5 complaint container in our project. For that i am trying to use JBoss AS 5.0.0 Beta 2 release. To test whether i am able to deploy seam examples on it, i deployed the jboss-seam-registration example on to this container. When i try to deploy it though, it doesnt get deployed. I keep getting the following exception.

11:15:53,781 INFO [Scanner] scanning: vfsfile:/E:/jboss/jboss-5.0.0.Beta2/server/default/deploy/jboss-seam-registration.ear/jboss-seam-registration.jar

The same application ear gets deployed properly on JBoss 4.2.1 GA .
Is there anyway i can use a JavaEE5 compliant container for using seam

Try using glassfish. JBoss 5 is not ready for production yet.

Thanks joshua!
Is there any article available as to how i can migrate a seam app running on JBoss4.2.1 to glassfish?

[thejavafreak]

You can check the jee5 examples. It is buildable against glassfish. Try to build it and look at the ear file generated for the configuration and the directory structure. This shouldn't be too hard.

As far as I concern the only difference is only on the library as there are some library that needs to be included if deployed on other appserver other than jboss.

Good luck for this

Thanks joshua...
I got a link which was very helpful

I am able to successfully deploy seam related app on glassfish.

JBoss 5 has changed the deployment architecture in an a way that is not compatible with the current Seam scanner. We will support JBoss 5 eventually.
