Why does a Seam 1.2.GA POJO app need javax.ejb.ApplicationEx

soza Aug 29, 2007 10:40 AM

Greetings

The Seam 1.2 POJO app we have fails with this following exception. We deploy on Websphere 6.1, which is J2EE1.4, hence the exception. I was wondering why would a POJO app have a dependency on javax.ejb? Thanks.

Which specific version of Seam. I don't think you should have this problem in 1.2.1.GA

Please put a breakpoint at org.jboss.seam.util.EJB.classForName and see what exception is thrown by Reflections.classForName when it trys to load javax.ejb.ApplicationException.

Hello Pete

I was able to reproduce the exception. It's a little goofy so bear with me. For some strange reason the application doesn't redirect to the login page when we go directly to any of our application page. Al tough NotLoggedInException is dumped in the log file. Anyway that's a separate issue.

Now from this application page (note: at this time the user is not logged in), if we click on the submit button we see the above mentioned exception. I did add the breakpoint as mentioned, but the program never traversed that path.

Even though if we fix the security issue, this exception would go away. However it still begs the original question as to the dependency on javax.ejb.

Thanks.
