Exception trying to run seam on glassfish.java.lang.NoClassD

[deepsix]

Hi,

I have been trying to get a simple seam application up and running on glassfish. Whenever i try to deploy the application on glassfish, i get an error:

App client jboss-seam.jar did not specify Main-Class in its manifest as described in the Java EE specification; no annotations in this app client will be processed
deployed with moduleid = seam-facelets

 at com.sun.enterprise.admin.event.AdminEventMulticaster.invokeApplicationDeployEventListener(AdminEventMulticaster.java:928)

I am at a loss as to what this means. Has some one got this exception before? Does this mean that i have missed out on some jar dependency some where or i have made some error in persistence.xml or elsewhere..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) Seam should be declared as an ejb module, not a jar module
2) Include jboss-archive-browsing.jar and jboss-common-core.jar in your ear lib/ directory.

Thanks!
I included these two jars and changed the seam declaration from jar module to ejb module.

But i get a different exception now.

SMGT0007: Self Management Rules service is enabled
Application server startup complete.
Exception occured in J2EEC Phasejava.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid ejb jar [jboss-seam.jar]: it contains zero ejb.
Note:
1. A valid ejb jar requires at least one session, entity (1.x/2.x style), or message driven bean.
2. EJB3+ entity beans (@Entity) are POJOs and please package them as library jar.
3. If the jar file contains valid EJBs which are annotated with EJB component level annotations (@Stateless, @Stateful, @MessageDriven), please check server.log to see whether the annotations were processed properly.
com.sun.enterprise.deployment.backend.IASDeploymentException: Error loading deployment descriptors for module [seam-facelets] -- Invalid ejb jar [jboss-seam.jar]: it contains zero ejb.

This is how my application.xml looks like.. nothing major.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

I think i am missing something simple somewhere..
just cant figure out what..

After a bit of googling, came across this bug

https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3386

And this one:
http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1590

Looks like an autodeployment issue in glassfish.

When i now try to deploy my application, i now get

Is something wrong with my conf file again(missing some entry ?) Or is it just that i shouldnt be using glassfish..

What version of Seam?

[deepsix]

I am using 2.0.0.CR2 version of seam.
But i found out my problem.

I had a typo in application.xml which said "sesam-facelets-war" instead of seam-facelets.

Had to look at the first line of the stack trace carefully to see that happening.

Apologies for the trouble caused.. And thanks for the help and patience.

You should place all the ear libraries in a lib directory in your deployed ear for JBoss AS 4.2 rather than declaring in application.xml
