Screwed up Seam-JSF input does not reach application

[kaboel.repel.steel.scarlet.be]

I'm sure I did something stupid, but can not figure out what.

Using seam 2.02sp1
mixed  richfaces and jsf, tag defintions

All JSF   forms seem to work, except  the fields are not updated in my seam bean (no error messages)
most seam to work  but never reaching the application seam bean

-Convertors    GetAsString called and returened successfull
               GetAsObject called and returned successfull (content is ok)
              
-Validators 
I seem to have a problem here  since I can not instantiATE the test validator (noop)
  using no validdators it does not work either
  using validators I seem not to be able to get them to fail eihther
  facesMessages.add(    do not work either  (action routines are called )
              
-setter        The setters (neededed for update are never called/are correctly defined in in INTERFACE file)
                getters are called  correctly

does anyone have an idea where to look next

is there any setting  I might have scewed up  ???

Well you are not 100% clear here, but if i were to make an educated guess -

You say you are not reaching the seam component. So i assume you have some sysouts in there and none are printing?

In that case you are probably dieing in the JSF lifecycle somewhere.

Check to make sure you aren't setting any objects awkwardly. Like you have an int field and typing a string into it. Since that will then cause it to fail.

You may also try finding out where is the JSF lifecycle is dying by enabling JSF Logging. I only hope there could be a way to enable it for a particular application (you have to enable it in the jboss server conf/log4j.xml file )
