Could not instantiate Seam component - Have tried all online solutions

[olasamuel]

Hi All,

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong as I keep on getting this error. I have followed all the solutions that I found online but all to no avail. Please find my components file, xhtml file and the seam component java file as well as the error log. Thank you

Hi,

To get the complete picture:

- You have an EAR project?
- You're using JBOSS AS 5.X ??
- You have defined the Seam interceptors in ejb-jar.xml ??
- You have tried the JBOSS admin tools an you have found the (deployed) SubscriberListing bean ?

Hi Leo,

Thank you for your response. However, the answer to all the questions you asked is YES. Please find below my ejb-jar.xml

I have done everything possible but still with no luck. This is a kind of hindrance. Thank you

Hi,

the reason I asked these questions, is because the error is a bit strange. Instead of stating it can't find a component. It states it can't find web-admin, which is the EAR-project name (prefix), I am using this kind of prefixes myself and I had this problem once, because I mispelled the real EAR project output. It is exactly the name of the created EAR, so if you have a suffix, such as project-1.0, the suffix must be included.

Additionally:

• Make your bean a simple POJO first and check again


• I highly recommend using the Seam managed persistenceContext,

Thanks a lot for the response Leo. What I dont understand is that this project works fine without maven but the moment I deploy the same project in a mavenized way it doesn't work. I jsut have to carry on with the one without maven hoping that one day I will get solution to the problem.

Can someone who is more experienced help in this case? I am sorry to write this but not getting answers to one postings on this forum sometimes demotivate one as to truely accept that seam is powerful enough for one to shift all attention to it.

Hi,

now you've given additional information: You use Maven !

Show use the header of the maven build file which clarifies a lot. As stated before, sometimes the EAR-prefix contains a version, which is really the case with maven, or you have explicitely staed that you don't want a prefix..

If you go to your maven repository (the .m2 directory in your user account) just find the product of the maven build and see how it is called (dir-suffixes/..//name-version.ear).

That's the name you should use in your jndi-pattern.

Leo

Can someone who is more experienced help in this case?

AAAAAAAAAAAH that hurts....

Hi,

sorry I mixed up prefix and suffix (bad excuse: well English is not my native tongue...)

Show use the header of the maven build file which clarifies a lot. As stated before, sometimes the EAR-suffix contains a version, which is really the case with maven, or you have explicitely staed that you don't want a suffix..

If you go to your maven repository (the .m2 directory in your user account) just find the product of the maven build and see how it is called (com/blaha/blah/..//EAR-NAME-version.ear).

AAAAAAAAAAAH that hurts....

Sorry about that comment Leo, it was meant to be directed at me in the sense that can someone more experienced than me help in this case and not in anyway at you. I will try your suggestion and give you feedback as to weather it works or not. Thanks a lot

[lvdberg]

Hi,

I'm not offended, I just couldn't resist...

Keep the forum informed about progress with your progress, because I feel every Maven expertise for Seam can be helpful.
