Recipe for a disaster (seam 2.1+jboss 4.2.3=fail)

mader Nov 13, 2008 2:25 PM

Kitchen:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
Java 1.5

Ingredents:
- Freshly scooped Eclipse 3.4.1 (slighty used 3.4 will do too)
- Fresh JBoss 4.2.3.GA (4.2.2.GA will barf nicely also)
- Fesh Seam 2.1.0.SP1 (or 2.1.0.GA)

How to do:
Download ingredents. Go to seam and run seam setup, answering in sensible way to all questions. Project will be named seamtest.

Result (build.properties):
hibernate.connection.password=youwannaknoweh
workspace.home=D\:/eclipses/eclipse-3.4.1/workspace
model.package=com.mader.seamtest.entity
driver.jar=D\:/projects/jdbc/postgresql-8.2-508.jdbc3.jar
action.package=com.mader.seamtest.ses
test.package=com.mader.seamtest.test
database.type=postgres
richfaces.skin=blueSky
hibernate.default_catalog.null=
hibernate.default_schema.null=
database.drop=n
project.name=seamtest
hibernate.connection.username=blah
hibernate.connection.driver_class=org.postgresql.Driver
hibernate.cache.provider_class=org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider
project.type=ear
icefaces.home=
database.exists=y
jboss.home=C\:/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc\:postgresql\://192.168.0.1\:5432/seamtest
icefaces=n

Run seam create-project. Success. Run eclipse. Go to workbench, File->New->Project... and select General->Project. Project name seamtest. Should load existing project and run somethingy that is ran always when refreshed[1]. This will create in jboss server default/deploy a directory (yes, DIRECTORY) called seamtest.ear.

Run with ant build.xml. Barf. No, this is not main disaster, only announcement and setup of feeling of inevitable doom. Delete directory seamtest.ear and run build.xml again. A file (yes, FILE) called, guess what, seamtest.ear is something slightly more sane, isnt it?

Time for main dish. Start jboss server.

Should even not throw any exceptions. Indercible! Run your favorite browser (in my case old, trusty Firefox 3.0... okay, maybe not so old) and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/seamtest/ . Yay! Something worked. At upper right corner click on "Login". Username: admin. Click button "Login".

BARF.

Oh joy. What now? I tried many combination of versions (mentioned at beginning) and on differnet computer. Strangely, on computer of my colleague recipe works. Works on my computer, if I run jboss copied directly from him. But if I dare to get from him eclipse project created like seamtest, recompile and build, it will barf.

[1] On one other computer where this recipe was tested, eclipse run and run this thingy in loop for a unknown reason, effectively making impossible to do rest of recipe. Cutting edge gastronomy, indeed.

rewrite your components.xml as follows;

   

   

   <security:identity authenticate-method="#{authenticator.authenticate}"/>

I dont know why this works, but it worked for me ! YMMV.

Don't you think calling this problem a disaster a bit too much ? :-)

true... but its quite challenging if you're a novice user stepping your way through a wizard, doing everything right and then you're faced with this type of obscure error. I'd guess a lot of people have wasted a lot of hours on this one...

Sorry that I answer so late to that. I am somewhat busy with many different things. :) At last, I returned to SEAM...

Thanks, this tip worked. But I almost instantly ran into another - I am sure trivial - problem.

I wanted to allow instant relog after logout. I changed in menu.xhtml:

<s:link view="/home.xhtml" action="#{identity.logout}" value="Logout" rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}" propagation="none"/>

to

<s:link view="/login.xhtml" action="#{identity.logout}" value="Logout" rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}" propagation="none"/>

No other changes - this is freshly installed project seamtest.

After deploy go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/seamtest and log in. Logout removes "signed in as" and redirects to login screen as expected. But when I tried to log in again as admin... barf. How nice.

Something bad happened :-(
    * Your session has timed out, please try again

Login again works only if there at least one other page loading between logout and another login (like /home.xhtml in seam example).

I don't want to be offensive, but why seam Just NOT Work? For now, it fails me on completely basic things, like logging (twice in row).

Yes, this IS disaster. I wonder how many beginners was turned off by basic things like this. Surely you and seam creators want SEAM to be used widely and as much as possible.

It is very bad if tester after deploying seam just hacks application to work and do not anything with that. Anybody thought why I must doing these hacks, why this does not work out of box? Or what would beginner do here?

Disclosure: I worked with SEAM (2.0) before, but I never tried installing it from scrath until now (colleague of mine helped me with old version).

I want to try new version of seam, because somewhere in me still lingers hope that new version of seam will fix at least some of esoteric and very annoying bugs that I encountered, while not introducing too much new bugs...

Sorry for scatching tone of this post. I don't want to offense anyone, I simply state what I think about it.

Look like adding folowing lines to web.xml suffice:

<context-param>
<param-name>facelets.BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

Only one question remains: why it is not here from beginning?...

your beans would be created every time you refresh the site. the old properties you may need are gone.
another solution is to delete propagation=none from the logout link
and do logout throu @End logout(){identity.logout}.
it helped me, i have a long running conversation
