jsf numberguess on jboss-6.0.0.M1, PropertyNotFoundException

[tinythebig]

Hi!
I have followed the instructions on http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/1.0.0/en-US/html/gettingstarted.html#jbossas
-> 6.2. Deploying to JBoss AS
But I dont get the example jsf numberguess to work.
Please help me.

This is the error after deploying the app, starting the server and pressing the reset button on the http://localhost:8080/weld-numberguess/home.jsf:

type Exception report

message

There is no deploy-time exception? One would think that since game can't be resolved, there would have been a problem booting

[tinythebig]

Hi!
Thanks for replying so soon.
I'm not exactly sure where I would find that deploy-time-exception if there is one.
After having deployed and undeployed the numberguess once, I deployed it a second time. (the first time I could not even view home.jsf - http error 404).
The second "ant deploy"- command produced this info in command prompt:

• Download a fresh JBoss 6.0.0 M1


• Download a fresh Weld 1.0.0 (you are running CR2?)


• build numberguess


• drop the war into the default/deploy, startup


• show any boot/deploy errors

[tinythebig]

Ok, just to make sure I understand correctly:

You wrote:
"drop the war into the default/deploy, startup"

Do you mean
manually drop the war in C:\...\JBoss\server\default\?

Or do you mean
make sure the war gets there?
(it seams to jump in there with "ant deploy" command.)

/ T

[nickarls]

no diff, as long as the built war ends up there.

[tinythebig]

OK, I've started from scratch again.
This time I realized that there is missing a whitespace in the reference guide. ( inexperienced to both Ant and JBoss I did not figure that out before)

http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/1.0.0/en-U/html/gettingstarted.html#prerequisites:

6.2. Deploying to JBoss AS
/.../
In order for the build scripts to know where to deploy the example, you have to tell them where to find your JBoss AS installation (i.e., JBOSS_HOME). Create a new file namedlocal.build.properties in the examples directory of the Weld distribution and assign the path of your JBoss AS installation to the property key jboss.home, as follows:
</qoute>


Whether its the renaming from namedlocal.build.properties to
local.build.properties or it was a boot problem I dont know. But at least it's working now!

Anyway, I appreciate your help & service! Thanx.
