Where to package SEAM-FACES in my ear?

[garcimouche]

AS: JBOSS 6.0.0.Final

I have some difficulty to package seam-faces in my ear bundle which has basically the following struct.:

my-app.ear
  |_lib
     |_seam-solder-3.0.0-final.jar
     |_seam-persistence-3.0.0-final.jar
     |_other-common-jars-to-all-my-ee-modules.jar
  |_my-ejb-module-that-needs-seam-solder.jar
  |_my-other-ejb-module-that-also-need-solder.jar
  |_my-web-module.war
     |_WEB-INF
          |_lib
              |_seam-faces-3.0.0.final.jar
              |_seam-international-3.0.0.final.jar
  |_my-web-module2.war

At Deployment, Weld is complaining with this error:

(HDScanner) Error installing to Start: name=vfs:///home/franck/jboss-6.0.0.Final/server/default/deploy/my-app-ear.ear_WeldBootstrapBean state=Create: org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-001408 Unsatisfied dependencies for type [ViewConfigExtension] with qualifiers [@Default] at injection point [[parameter 1] of [method] @Inject public org.jboss.seam.faces.view.config.ViewConfigStoreImpl.setup(ViewConfigExtension)]

I also tried to move seam-faces (and international) into my-app.ear/lib but this time I have the following error @ deployment:

2011-04-27 11:33:43,823 INFO  [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.config] (HDScanner) Unsanitized stacktrace from failed start...: org.jboss.seam.solder.beanManager.BeanManagerUnavailableException: Failed to locate BeanManager using any of these providers: org.jboss.seam.solder.beanManager.DefaultJndiBeanManagerProvider(11), org.jboss.seam.solder.beanManager.ServletContainerJndiBeanManagerProvider(10)

     at org.jboss.seam.faces.event.AbstractListener.getListeners(AbstractListener.java:25) [:3.0.0.Final]

Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have the same problem. I've got solder, faces and international all in WEB-INF/lib and I get the exact same error as you. I've looked into the source for faces and can't find a producer for ViewConfigExtension.

Have you made any headway?

Your problem is caused by a bug in the JBoss AS 6 which does not recognize CDI extensions when packaged within an ear. See AS7-623 for more details.

There is a workaround for the issue:

Comment out WarClassLoaderDeployer in deployers/jbossweb.deployer/META-INF/war-deployers-jboss-beans.xml

The workaround works fine for single-webapp ear. Problems may occur if multiple web applications are packaged within the ear.

Thanks Jozef I have several web modules in the ear. I finally put back seam-faces into the ear/lib folder and it deploys correctly. However I now try to use the  UIInputContainer component defined in seam-faces inside one of my web-module through the JSF 2 composite mechanism. However I've got this error :

SEVERE [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.application] JSF1068: Cannot instantiate component with component-type org.jboss.seam.faces.InputContainer

I use Mojarra 2.0.4.
I don't know if a FacesComponent present in a jar in the ear/lib directory get scanned by JSF 2.

For the record, I've redeclared the UIInputContainer inside my web-module faces-config:

    <component>
        <component-type>org.jboss.seam.faces.InputContainer</component-type>
        <component-class>org.jboss.seam.faces.component.UIInputContainer</component-class>
    </component>

and it's working......
