Newbie question Forge webapp creation with Seam 3.0

[joechambers]

This may be the wrong forum for this post, if so then I apologize; please slap my wrists and if possible please point me in a better direction.

I installed seam per the instructions including maven 3.  When I ran forge per the seam instructions it produced a jar file, not a war file.  Is there a more complete documentation than the bundled seam documentation?  Or something that anyone can outline as a good step by step detailed tutorial or how to.  As well as configuration information.

There are numerous errors in the scaffolding page shown in Lincoln's second post:

Step 3: forge command
$ scaffold indexes --overwrite
should be
$ scaffold create-indexes --overwrite

Step 4: should explain what choices are acceptable for

{your JPA Implementation} [HIBERNATE | OPENJPA | ECLIPSELINK] 

and

{your container} [JBOSS_AS6 | JBOSS_AS7 | GLASSFISH_3 | CUSTOM_JDBC | CUSTOM_JTA | CUSTOM_NON_JTA]

The generated persistence.xml references the default DataSource for the selected container.  You may need to change hibernate properties for your server.

Step 5: the forge command
$ entity --named Customer
should be
$ new-entity --named Customer

and creating Customer properties using commands:

field string --named firstName
field string --named lastName

should be

new-field string --named firstName
new-field string --named lastName

The generated application still has some rough edges:

1. The mime-type for favicon.ico is not specified in web-xml and numerous JSF1091 warnings are logged each time a page is displayed


2. The application home page should link to the entity pages - or at least to the first generated entity which in this example is customer


3. JSF1015: Request path '/faces/index.xhtml' begins with one or more occurrences of the FacesServlet prefix path mapping '/faces'


4. The delete button is dysfunctional because: Cannot remove EJB, id unknown (likely because this is a no-interface view!)
