TransactionManager deployment problem with Tomcat 6 (JNDI?)
Hi everybody,
First of all, I found Seam an excellent piece of technology, so I decided to give it a chance as the main framework for my current project. I think, is currently the best alternative out there for web application development and I'm very pleased with the results I've got so far.
I was using JBoss AS 5.0 as the development server, but just a few weeks ago, I was informed the final application will use Tomcat as the production environment.
Naturally I tried to configure the new environment, but I failed because there is an exception that's raised while the application is deploying:
2009-02-16 23:46:01,001 [main] WARN net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheProvider - Could not find a specific ehcache configuration for cache named [mx.gob.funcionpublica.siac.modelo.aseguramiento.ge.AtributoCalificadoGrupoEnfoque]; using defaults.

I really don't know what to do. I've already skimmed through the documentation (Sections 1.1.2 and 29.6.1, Seam 2.1.1GA). It's been almost a week and I'm still unable to run the application successfully.
The relevant configuration is shown below (Seam 2.1.1GA, Tomcat 6.0.18):
META-INF/context.xml (Tomcat 6 Context configuration):
<Context path="/SiacWeb"> <Resource name="jdbc/SiacWebDatasource" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="foouser" password="barpassword" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/siac_db" /> </Context>

I already tried to include Embedded JBoss, but I found a similar post where a user ASavitsky explains why Embedded JBoss is not necessary and recommends some configuration. Unfortunately that doesn't worked for me and here I am asking for some help...
- What other configuration is necessary to avoid this exception?
- Can you suggest me any other resource where I can find some information related to deploying Seam applications on Tomcat?
- Do you know any other thread in the forum where this problem is addressed and actually resolved?
Your help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
