Seam 2.1.1ga and JBoss 5.0.0ga authenticator throwing exception on startup

[arshadm]

Hi,

I am writing a new app using Seam authentication. I have written an Authenticator as per the docs,
but whenever I add it tpo the components.xml JBoss throws an exception on startup.

components.xml
    <!-- the authentication -->
    <security:identity authenticate-method="#{authenticator.authenticate}" remember-me="false"/>

The following exception is throws, I know this is causing it because if I
comment out this line then JBoss start's up without any errors. Can somebody shed any light on what may be causing this
(no other relevant exceptions appear in the log to give a cluse as to what is happening).

Do you get anything in the server log rather than the console?

Is this a seam-gen generated app?

Hi,

Sorry didn't get a chance to put a follow up post. Managed to get this fixed, the error was caused by a some bad dependencies in my maven pom which caused duplicates of the main jboss-seam.jar to be deployed.

Now struggling with trying to get managed persistence contexts to work with JBoss AS 5.0.0 and Seam 2.1.1-ga. The documentation is reasonably clear but I think JBoss is still broken (the last comment I can find is from Peter Muir saying that this issue would be fixed for 5.0.0-GA but since he didn't put a link to the JIRA entry I can't tell if this was fixed or not).

Does anyone know if JBoss AS 5.0.0 fixes the issue mentioned in

http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=142385&start=-10

Two issues with jboss seam 2.1.1 ga and latest jboss tools

After create ear for a seam webproject:

1 log-level is not allowed in pages.xml

2 Cannot find the jboss-seam.jar from ejb jar. Then lots of error prompted. Have to manually include the earContent by right click xxx-ejb, add lib.

[rept]

Using jboss tool/jboss5.0/jboss seam2.1.1
create a seam web ear.
