bpm in 2.1.GA

[rkilcoyne.rkilcoyne.mac.com]

I'm getting an error when starting a Seam 2.1.GA app containing the following page flow definition in my components.xml:

    <bpm:jbpm>
        <bpm:pageflow-definitions>
            <value>assistNewRegBlock.jpdl.xml</value>
            <value>assistNewRegAd.jpdl.xml</value>
            <value>assistNewAccount.jpdl.xml</value>
            <value>assistNewBid.jpdl.xml</value>
        </bpm:pageflow-definitions>
    </bpm:jbpm>

The error thrown is:

java.lang.RuntimeException: error while reading /WEB-INF/components.xml

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error loading element Jbpm with component name null and component class null

This configuration was working great in previous Seam builds. I did notice that when the seam core is compiled, package-info.class doesn't exist and that it does exist for all the other pre-defined compenent packages. package-info.java is in org.jboss.seam.bpm, but it doesn't appear to get compiled, which would explain the error I'm seeing.

Any thoughts or suggestions for a workaround? I've gone through the build files but can't find anything that specifically exclude this file.

Thanks,
Rick

I have this error too, but only with seam fetched from the 2.1.0.GA svn tag, it works ok with the official .tar.gz downloaded from here.... strange!

A little bit more information : it happens also with selft buit jboss-seam.jar from the official 2.1GA tar.gz.

Judging by these responses, it sounds like this problem definitely lies in the build process. I'm building with jdk6 under OSX. I'm going to try a build on centos 5.2 w/ jdk6 to see if I get the same results. In the meantime I'm going to move my project along with the tgz -- thanks Gaël.

More info on my build environment:

$ mvn -version

produced the same results as using JDK 1.5.

Confirmed Gaël's post -- works with the binaries in the tar.gz -- no bpm errors.

I did notice the statement:

    <transaction:ejb-transaction />

was preventing my 2.1.GA app from starting. Removed this and all was well.
