"tomcatjpa" example in seam book

[gsawant]

Hi
I am trying to run "tomcatjpa" example from Seam book by Michael Yuan.
I have downloaded Seam 2.0.0 and has Tomcat 5.5 and jboss 4.0.5 installed.

When I deploy tomcatjpa.war to tomcat/webapps and run I get

Error configuring application listener of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/el/CompositeELResolver

Is anyone getting this error?

Thanks
Geeta

The examples are tested on Tomcat 6.0. For Tomcat 5.5, I believe that you need to have the Sun EL JAR (el-api.jar)on the classpath.

cheers

Thanks Michael that worked. What I am trying to do is use seam purely as a web frontend framework without using any of its persistence related capabilities. I have gotten this to work with all the config info in place. Now what I need to do is get rid of all the redundant persitence/jta etc libraries. Would you happen to know what those are besides a trial an error process of removing libraries and checking if the app works or blows up?

Thanks
Geeta
