error while deploying seam app on JB-AS 5.0.1.GA

[mulderbaba]

Hi,
I'm mavenizing seam's identity management scaffolding app. It's based on seam 2.1.2-SNAPSHOT. When I try to deploy the app to Jboss Application Server 5.0.1.GA, I got the
appserver not bound. I'm pretty sure that I don't have jndi resource named appserver (only have the ontoidmanDatasource).

So any idea where this appserver jndi name might be coming from?

This post is not a definitive response to this question but it might help.

I had the same error message (Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: appserver not bound) when I was trying to get SeamTest (ie embedded JBoss) to work after getting a seam-gen 2.2.0GA created project to deploy to Glassfish.

The project uses hibernate rather than JPA.

In the hibernate.cfg.xml for glassfish we have

  <property name="transaction.manager_lookup_class">org.hibernate.transaction.SunONETransactionManagerLookup</property>

When I tried to use this in a SeamTest I got the error you describe.

The error went away after I changed the transaction.manager_lookup_class to be:

  <property name="transaction.manager_lookup_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup</property>

The error/stacktrace was replaced by:

ERROR [org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryObjectFactory] Invalid JNDI name:
javax.naming.InvalidNameException

but the code did work in the SeamTest.
