Seam Excel JBoss 5.1 problem
Hi all,
I'm having a problem with Seam Excel, running it under JBoss 5.1 and Seam 2.2.1.Final
In the attribute templateURI
I refer to the file /xls/template.xls but when I run the page it returns me the following error:
16:33:21,922 ERROR [viewhandler] Error Rendering View[/secure/reports/report.xhtml]
org.jboss.seam.excel.ExcelWorkbookException: Could not create workbook
...
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

See the report.xhtml block below:
<e:workbook templateURI="/xls/template.xls" filename="result.xls">
<e:worksheet value="#{reportCriteria}"
var="each" name="Patient Episode Totals" startRow="2" startColumn="2" sheetProtected="true">
<e:column >
<e:cell value="#{each}"/>
</e:column>
</e:worksheet>

See jboss.xml below:
<!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 4.2//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_4_2.dtd"> <jboss-web> <class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance="false"> <loader-repository> seam.jboss.org:loader=auscr <loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config> </loader-repository> </class-loading> <context-root>auscr</context-root> </jboss-web>
My application follows the following structure:
- webapp
- META-INF
- secure
- reports
. report.xhtml
- WEB-INF
- classes
lots of java classes
- lib
. components.xml
. faces-config.xml
. jboss-web.xml
. pages.xml
. web.xml
- xls
. template.xml
When I copy the XLS file to /webapp/WEB-INF/classes it DOES work, so I suspect it is some class loading issue, but I couldn't find any relevant documentation that could help me.
This application was running previously on JBoss 4.2 and I never had a problem, but after migrating it to JBoss 5.1 the hell began.
Does someone have a clue about what is going on?
Thanks,
Anderson
