Jboss Tools EAR Wizard

[beren.beren.patmedia.net]

I'm trying to use the Jboss Tools to create a seam project using hte EAR format. I seem to get some variability when I do this. I'm using Seam 2 tech preview the JBoss 4.2.

I get these two things happening:

1. If AS is running when the wizard completes I'll get an error that the components.xml cannot be read.

2. If AS is not running and I start JBoss after the wizard completes and I start up AS and then deploy the project I will not be able to login and will get an error like this:

15:47:17,439 WARN  [IdentityManager] no identity store available - please install an IdentityStore with the name 'identityStore' if identity management is required.
15:47:17,439 ERROR [SeamLoginModule] No authentication method defined - please define authenticate-method for <security:identity/> in components.xml

WAR based projects seem to work fine.

Where should the components.xml file be located in the EAR project structure?

Any help/sugestions would be great.

I tried seam-gen and I get the same issue with EAR projects.

I think the issue is the build script that both seam-den and the JBoss Tools wizard uses to build an EAR project. There's a few extra thing added into the components.xml file that cause this error. There's a drools block, some extra events, and there's a security tag added that must be causing my specific error.

I went into the booking example and using the components.xml in that project as a guide I modified my file and now my EAR deploys from both Eclipse and from seam-gen and I can log in.

Many thanks to Christoph foe his excellent tutorial on seam-gen and working with Eclipse:
