Adding seam-faces ends up with weld error

[daxxy]

I am trying to add seam-faces to my little app.  I am on as 7.1.0.Final and am using jboss dev studio 5.  I get the same error on eclipse indigo though.

Using seam-bom to manage versions.

It seems that whenever I try to add a seam module I end up with a slew of classnotfound exceptions.  I add maven artifacts one at a time to handle them.  Now that they have all been handled, I ended up with a Weld error.

Here is what I ended up with in my POM when I added seam-faces.  Each of these was added to handle a ClassNotFound exception

    <dependency>

      <groupId>org.jboss.seam.faces</groupId>

      <artifactId>seam-faces</artifactId>

    </dependency>

    <dependency>

      <groupId>org.jboss.seam.security</groupId>

      <artifactId>seam-security-api</artifactId>

    </dependency>

    </dependency>

    <dependency>

      <artifactId>seam-persistence-api</artifactId>

    <dependency>

      <groupId>com.ocpsoft</groupId>

      <artifactId>prettyfaces-core</artifactId>

      <version>3.3.2</version>

    </dependency>

Here is what I ended up with. I don't have any idea how to interpret or fix this

What is this error telling me?  Any idea how to fix it?

Looks like you're missing the impl for seam-international. Are you using the Seam BOM?

[daxxy]

I am using the seam-bom.  I added seam-international-impl to my pom and now I get a different Weld error

Caused by:

org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException

: WELD-001409 Ambiguous dependencies for type [ELContext] with qualifiers [@Default] at injection point [[parameter 1] of [constructor] @Inject public org.jboss.seam.solder.el.Expressions(ELContext, ExpressionFactory)]. Possible dependencies [[Producer Method [ELContext] with qualifiers [@Any @Default] declared as [[method] @Produces org.jboss.seam.solder.el.ELContextProducer.createELContext()], Producer Method [ELContext] with qualifiers [@Any @Default] declared as [[method] @Produces org.jboss.solder.el.ELContextProducer.createELContext()]]]

seam-international-impl requires seam-solder. I excluded seam-solder in my pom and get

Caused by:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

: org.jboss.seam.solder.messages.MessageBundle

So I am un-excluding it which leaves me again with "Ambiguous dependencies" 

?

[lightguard]

You have two versions of Solder then. org.jboss.seam.solder and org.jboss.solder

[daxxy]

I actually did figure that out on my own before you responded.  Now I'm getting

I had to tinker a bit with the seam-solder dependencies.  I"ll append my current pom.xml if you are interested in taking a look.

Why not use the 3.1.0.Final versions?

[daxxy]

No reason except that they were the latest.  So I switched the versions to 3.0.0.Final and NOW I get this error. 

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.solder.reflection.annotated.AnnotatedTypeBuilder

I cannot find the library that contains this class.  Let me know if you want the full stack trace. 

I can find org.jboss.seam.solder.reflection....etc but not org.jboss.solder.reflection...etc.  I checked in 3.0.0.Final and 3.1.0.Beta2 for both seam-solder and seam-solder-api

This is really maddening, but without eclipse/maven/m2e all the jboss tools, etc it would be impossible!!

[daxxy]

OK I see you said 3.1.0.Final versions. These are not on my nexus server and that's why I didn't you them.

Not sure what to do at this point.  Just download em and stick em in lib I guess.

[lightguard]

They've been released for few months now. Some of them may have even been merged into maven central now, but for sure they're on the JBoss Nexus server.

[daxxy]

I finally got this working. For all the other neophytes out there, here is what I learned

1) A Weld unsatisfied dependency is like a class not found exception. You are missing a library.

2) A Weld ambiguous dependency is like a class cast exception. You've got a duplicate library somewhere -- probably a different version of the same library. Check your WEB-INF lib and then using the maven POM editor in eclipse identify the duplicate and which library depends on it and then exclude it.  If you are not already using eclipse, start now!  I couldn't imagine doing this part without it.

3) The "solder" libraries move from org.jboss.seam.solder to org.jboss.solder for 3.1.0. This was very confusing.  When adding a dependency in eclipse I rely on entering a filter string. I entered seam-solder and so was unaware there was a 3.1.0.Final version because the artifact name for the 3.1.0 solder libraries does not have the word "seam" in them.

And in the course of writing this up, I just realized that the version of seam-bom I was using was 3.1.0.CR1 NOT 3.1.0.Final so the final lesson is....rely on the bom! Just make sure you have the right one...

Thanks for your help Jason.
