Seam 2.0.0.0GA + Maven2 doesn`t work...

[w17chm4n]

First, this is how I did build my application with Seam 1.2.1.GA

So with pom`s setted as above I could easyly build and deploy my application. But the problem is when I want to migrate to Seam 2.0.0.GA. To do that I simply change versions and groupId for modules. New libs are downloaded and package is build, but it`s impossible to deploy it (I`m using JBoss 4.2.2).

The problem is that pom`s setted up for jboss-seam, jboss-seam-ui and jboss-seam-debug are hmmmm wrong.

When building application with version 2.0.0.GA of Seam, maven is building ear which helds most of the libs but it also packs up the same libs into the war ! That makes it impossible to deploy - as far as I think. Maybe new pom`s work when building single war file, but not when trying to build an ear,

Oh and I have a question, why there are so many depencies in 2.0.0.GA ?

Howdy,

After three days of working, I finally have my Seam 2.0 project building and deploying to JBoss 4.2.2 using maven 2. I still don't have the unit tests working (the do work in Eclipse using the testng plugin). Anyway, I hope this helps...

I'm only including the dependencies.

EJB - some of the exclusions are there to avoid conflicts with the jars in JBoss 4.2.2. ${seam.version} is defined in another pom.

I know there is some duplication in the dependencies, mostly due to not cleaning things up yet. Please, if anyone see something wrong or can suggest a better way of doing things; let me know.

Thanks.

PS. I also had to copy into $JAVA_HOME/server/lib the following JARs.

hibernate-search:jar
hibernate-commons-annotations:jar
lucene-core:jar

(the last two are dependencies of the first).

[w17chm4n]

Thanks for your feedback. I`ll try to mix your pom`s with mine and see what will came ;)

But still, migrating to seam 2.0.0.GA on maven shouldn`t be so problematic as it is now..

[pmuir]

This is the first iteration of Maven support in Seam, so we need your feedback to get it better for the next releases.

An example using maven will go a long way to helping I hope.

Seam 1.2 didn't support Maven, so thats just a basic POM generated by Maven, Seam 2 does (so has a lot of dependencies).

[w17chm4n]

I`ll try to help with that feedback !

So when I manage to make my application run, I`ll post my pom`s as an example how I did it.

[bsmithjj]

There's been some research into Seam + Maven 2 unit testing in this thread.

http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=122406&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Transitive dependencies suck - anytime you put an exclusion into your pom you're fixing a problem due to this so-called feature of maven2. (IMHO)

[pmuir]

I think this is because people don't use the optional flag properly. My rule is anything that anything which will only be used by 95% or greater of the people consuming your artifacts shouldn't be optional.

Please, if you are having to use exclusions with Seam poms, post here or create a jira issue.

[w17chm4n]

I`ve managed to deal with building Seam 2.0 application without exclusions.

So now application builds and deploys smoothly but I`ve encountered another problem. There are no seam components which I`ve created in ANY scope.

Example:

questioncategory.xml

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
 xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
 xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib">
 <body>

 <h:form>
 <h:inputText value="#{QuestionCategory.categoryName}" required="true"/>
 <h:outputText value="categoryList is null" rendered="#{questionCategoryList == null}"/><br/>
 <h:outputText value="categoryList rowCount = 0" rendered="#{questionCategoryList.size == 0}"/><br/>
 <h:outputText value="Available categoryList: " rendered="#{questionCategoryList.size > 0}"/><br/>
 <h:commandButton type="submit" value="Add new category" action="#{QuestionCategoryController.addCategory}"/><br/>
 <h:dataTable var="cat" value="#{questionCategoryList}">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="[ #{cat.categoryName} ]"/>
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value=" - [ #{cat.created} ]"><s:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/></h:outputText>
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <s:link value="remove" action="#{QuestionCategoryController.removeCategory}"/>
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <s:link value="select" action="#{QuestionCategoryController.selectCategory(cat)}"/>
 </h:column>
 </h:dataTable>
 </h:form>

 <ui:debug hotkey="d"/>

 </body>
</html>

QuestionCategoryController

@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@Name("QuestionCategoryController")
public class QuestionCategoryControllerBean implements QuestionCategoryController {

 @Logger
 private Log log;

 @In(create = true)
 private QuestionCategoryManager questionCategoryManager;

 @DataModel
 private List<QuestionCategory> questionCategoryList;

 @In(create = true)
 @DataModelSelection
 private QuestionCategory questionCategory;

 public void addCategory() {
 log.info("Adding category [#{questionCategory.categoryName}]");
 questionCategoryManager.addCategory(questionCategory);
 getAllQuestionsCategories();
 }

 public void removeCategory() {
 questionCategoryList.remove(questionCategory);
 questionCategoryManager.removeCategory(questionCategory);
 questionCategory = null;
 getAllQuestionsCategories();
 }

 public void selectCategory(QuestionCategory category) {
 questionCategory = category;
 }

 @Factory(value="questionCategoryList")
 public void getAllQuestionsCategories() {
 questionCategoryList = questionCategoryManager.getAllQuestionCategories();
 }

 @Remove @Destroy
 public void destroy() {}

}

QuestionCategory entity

@Entity
@Scope(ScopeType.EVENT)
@Name("questionCategory")
@Table(name="QuestionCategories")
public class QuestionCategory implements Serializable {

 @Id @GeneratedValue
 private Long id;

 @NotNull @Length(min=3, max=100)
 private String categoryName;

 @OneToMany
 private List<Question> questionList;

 @Temporal(value = TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
 private Date created;

 @Override
 public boolean equals(Object obj) {
 if (!(obj instanceof QuestionCategory) || this.id == null) {
 return false;
 }

 return this.id.equals(((QuestionCategory)obj).getId());
 }

 public QuestionCategory() {
 this.questionList = new ArrayList<Question>();
 }

 public QuestionCategory(String categoryName) {
 this.categoryName = categoryName;
 this.questionList = new ArrayList<Question>();
 }

 public Long getId() {
 return id;
 }

 public void setId(Long id) {
 this.id = id;
 }

 public String getCategoryName() {
 return categoryName;
 }

 public void setCategoryName(String categoryName) {
 this.categoryName = categoryName;
 }

 public List<Question> getQuestionList() {
 return questionList;
 }

 public void setQuestionList(List<Question> questionList) {
 this.questionList = questionList;
 }

 public Date getCreated() {
 return created;
 }

 public void setCreated(Date created) {
 this.created = created;
 }
}

...I don`t have to say that this code works on Seam 1.2.1 -_- ?

[bsmithjj]

Here's one difference between my poms for an ear and yours.

In the parent pom, it's my experience that I should generally build the ejb jar(s) before the webapp war(s) - often the webapp(s) depend on the ejb(s) (mainly for custom converters).

 <modules>
 <module>ejb</module>
 <module>webapp</module>
 <module>ear</module>
 </modules>

Also, presumably, you've put a seam.properties file in ${PROJECT_HOME}/ejb/src/main/resources - there have been times in a new project when I haven't done this and run into the same problem. After you've checked that, my guess is it's time to double check the jndiPattern in your webapp's components.xml file.

Good Luck

I`ve doublechecked everything and it seems to be allright. Seam.properties is where it should be, jndi name is allso correct.

But still, Seam doesn`t see any components which I`ve created ;/

[w17chm4n]

Is it important in what package in the jar i keep my components ?

ex. ejb3/src/main/java/actions or ejb3/src/main/java/com/mycompany/sth/crap/ ?

[pmuir]

Can you see Seam components being loaded in the startup log?

[w17chm4n]

Components build in Seam, yes. Every Seam component which I create - no.

What is strange is that everythings loads correctly on 1.2.1.

[pmuir]

Do you have seam.properties in the jar?
