• Seam 2.0.3.CR1


• Tomcat 6

We are about to embark on our second Seam project, and for this one we have a requirement to deploy to a simple servlet container (Tomcat) without embedded-jboss (our project does not use EJB).

We've been completely unsuccessful in adapting a simple seamgen generated WAR project to run on Tomcat6. Of course, we've been able to deploy the simple jpa example without problem, but that project looks nothing like a seamgen'd one, so it's hard to know where to begin in what to change in our seamgen'd app to make it work on raw Tomcat.

Can someone point me at a cookbook of what to do?  I've read the reference manual, and seen previous comments on the forum that it's just a matter of adjusting the jars included in the war, editing a configuration option here or there (persistence.xml, components.xml, etc.), but it would be very helpful if someone who has been through the pain could list specifically what they did to create a deployable app.   This seems to be a common question, but I've been unable to find a straightforward answer.

Thanks!
