JBossDeveloper

here we go ...

1. If you haven't install JBoss Portal 2.4GA with EJB3, see portal installation instruction at
http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.4/reference-guide/en/html_single/#install_installer

I use the JEMS installer, and then override the JBoss portal with the latest.


2. Install (unzip) seam 1.0.1GA if not yet.


3. I combine the "booking" and "portal" examples to arrive at the final outcome. Not sure if this is correct, but seems to work ... ha ha ha

All the subsequent files are from the "booking" directory.

4a. Delete .\booking\resources\META-INF\jboss-app.xml

4b. Create .\booking\resources\WEB-INF\jboss-app.xml with this content:

<jboss-app>
 <app-name>seam-booking</app-name>
</jboss-app>

<application>
 <display-name>Seam Booking</display-name>

 <module>
 <web>
 <web-uri>jboss-seam-booking.war</web-uri>
 </web>
 </module>
 <module>
 <ejb>jboss-seam-booking.jar</ejb>
 </module>
 <module>
 <java>jboss-seam.jar</java>
 </module>

</application>

<jboss-web>
 <context-root>seam-booking</context-root>
 <class-loading>
 <loader-repository>
 seam.jboss.org:loader=seam-booking
 </loader-repository>
 </class-loading>
</jboss-web>

7. Edit .\booking\resources\WEB-INF\web.xml with this content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4"

8. Add the facelets support in .\booking\resources\WEB-INF\faces-config.xml, see below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE faces-config

9. Create .\booking\resources\WEB-INF\seam-booking-object.xml, as follows:

12. Edit .\booking\build.xml, as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project name="Booking" default="deploy" basedir=".">

 <!-- Naming -->
 <property name="Name" value="Seam on JBoss Booking Example"/>
 <property name="example.name" value="jboss-seam-booking"/>

 <import file="../../build.xml"/>

</project>

13. Create this folder: .\booking\resources\WEB-INF\lib

14. Use ant to build. If properly setup, the EAR and ds file should be copied into your Jboss deploy folder. If not you could find the EAR in the build folder, and manually copy the EAR and ds file into Jboss deploy folder.

15. Run Jboss. Moment of true ... http://localhost:8080/portal

16. If you want to use EJB3, need to edit the persistence.xml file.

Hope this help.

Fantastic!
Many thanks for your help - busy evening later giving it a go.

Andy.

I'm just going through things here - will let you know where I get to shortly

dear all,

Best if you do a clean installation of Jboss AS + portal + seam in another folder if you don't want to disturb your existing installation, as follows:

1. If you haven't install JBoss Portal 2.4GA with EJB3, see portal installation instruction at
http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.4/reference-guide/en/html_single/#install_installer

I use the JEMS installer, and then override the JBoss portal with the latest.


2. Install (unzip) seam 1.0.1GA if not yet.

Ok, got mine going a little further. I'm currently just using the 2.4BETA portlet version that comes with the installer (1.2BETA). The following may possibly not show up in 2.4.0GA.

Check that you have definately commented out the myfaces StartupServletContextListener in web.xml as chuaky suggests above. i.e.

<!-- JSF -->
<!--

<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>

-->

You may well get the following exception when you deploy, but the app seems largely to work anyway.

2006-09-16 00:14:01,318 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/seam-booking]] Servlet /seam-booking threw load() exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Factories configured for this Application - typically this is because a context listener is not setup in your web.xml.
A typical config looks like this;

<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>


I have managed to register through the portlet and then get a problem with main.seam, but that may be a problem elsewhere.

Another thing to watch is to put your 3 facelet jars into tomcats jsf-lib directory, not in the apps EB-INF/lib directory, to avoid classloader issues (AFAIK).
