Please help: problem with running the hotel booking example

kingcu Mar 23, 2007 5:35 PM
Greetings, everyone!

I am having a problem running the booking example: every time I typed in a username and tabbed into the next textbox "Name", the browser takes me into the seam debug page; and there are some exceptions thrown (attached below) saying "Exception while invoking expression #{register.invalid}". Does this mean that it can't find a component named "register"?

I am running the booking example in JBoss Eclipse IDE 2.0.0 Beta2 and I followed the below wiki article to set it up in Eclipse. I also extracted a working booking EAR that is built by running the ant build script and compared the file structure and they are identical to each other.

Any idea/hint?

Thanks,
Tong

I meet the same problem.

I am sure you deleted "seam.properties" file when create jar file.
seam.properties file contains nothing, but you cannot drop it!!!!!!

May you succeed!
