Make action class SEAM Component

[dhaliwal]

Hello,

I am using Seam 2.0.2 SP1 with Weblogic and JSF. Just a quick query with regards to what installs the action class as seam components at start up time(ie. AuthenticatorAction)

I have included the AuthenticatorAction action class in web.xml and ejb-jar.xml.

I would expect somthing like the following at startup:

- Component: authenticator, scope: STATELESS, type: STATELESS_SESSION_BEAN, class: com.company.action.AuthenticatorAction, JNDI: java:comp/env/primeBrokerWeb/Authenticator

What makes the above AuthenticatorAction class appear as a component?

Thanks,

See the docs.  You must give it a Seam component name.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the helpful replies. In my case, it was the seam.properties file.
