This is a cry for help; please don't delete my request again:

All attempts to let SEAMGEN reverse engineer application from existing Oracle tables fail.  Testing on various existing legacy DBs yields similar results.  Entities are generated, and a few views and then, stuck.

The following tools have been used:

WindowsXP Servicepack 2,
Sun Java version 1.5.0-12,
Seam version 2.0.1.GA,
JDBC from Oracle ojdbc5.jar

Target is various Oracle databases version 9i and 10g.

The following is example trace:
