Seam 2.2 to 2.3 migration: "CONFIGURATION FAILED! null"

[sean.tozer]

Hi all. I'm in the midst of trying to migrate a semi-complex Seam 2.2 application to 2.3, as hopefully a stepping stone to 3.0 at some point. I've navigated (I think) through the various compiler-level issues and jar compatibility shenanigans, and it's now getting most of the way through deploying my app. However, I then hit this message, which really isn't giving me a whole lot to go on in terms of what might be wrong:

Hi Sean,

could you post a list of included jars in your application lib directory? And show what you have in jboss-deployment-structure.xml file.

You are probably have got wrong setup of JSF or wrong setup of jboss-deployment-structure.xml which should configure correct JSF module for your application.

This error is an symptop of wrong used JSF version:
