Invalid redirects

[impalpable]

Deployed a sample app on JBOSS 4.2 successfully (no errors). My index.jsp is a basic redirect to index.seam

<% response.sendRedirect("index.seam"); %>

I get the following error: -
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I do not have a pages.xml and my web.xml is the same one as Booking example with servlet filter configured, servlet mapping of faces servlet as star dot seam

I tried to see live http headers for a possible invalid redirect and this is what I get around 10 of these : -

"http://localhost:8080/evg-asr-web/debug.seam?cid=2"

Any ideas?

I got this error on server logs

[Contexts] starting up: org.jboss.seam.web.session
14:28:45,350 INFO  [Contexts] starting up: org.jboss.seam.security.identity
14:28:45,709 ERROR [SeamPhaseListener] uncaught exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not start transaction

and I changed components.xml from having

<transaction:ejb-transaction/>

to

<persistence:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager"
persistence-unit-jndi-name="java:/EntityManagerFactories/myDatasource" />

and it works now.

I'm not sure what the reason is, doesn't look right to me.
Any technical info on this?

Post the full error. Normally transaction problems point to an earlier (perhaps unlogged) problem rendering the view.
