Why does seam generate a jar-file and put all the code into the jar-file.

In a EAR-Project, I need to put the code relvant to a WAR into my WAR and not into the JAR. (e.g. listeners, source to generate view,..). Or is there no difference?

When doing this, should I put the seam.properties both into my WAR and my JAR?

The problem is, I get this error when putting classes into my WAR/classes-directory:

[Scanner] skipping class WEB-INF/classes/view/GridTable.class because it cannot be loaded (may reference a type which is not available on the classpath)

So JBOSS, SEAM(?) does not recognice that in my WEB-INF/classes-directory are classes available. Any ideas?

The WAR definitly contains the WEB-INF/classes/view/GridTable.class.

Should I name it in the application.xml ?

Anyway, it seems to be a classloader-problem:

When putting classes into WAR's WEB-INF/classes, then these classes cannot find the classes of the EAR's JAR-File.I used  SEAM-Gen, the application.xml has:

   <module>
      <web>
         <web-uri>sys.war</web-uri>
         <context-root>/sys</context-root>
      </web>
   </module>
  
   <module>
      <ejb>sys.jar</ejb>
   </module>
   
   <module>
       <ejb>jboss-seam.jar</ejb>
   </module>

So the sys.war is integrated. But it does not work.

When I put all the classes of WAR's WEB-INF/classes within sys.jar, then all works.

But putting classes within WEB-INF/classes does not work.
Why?

Okay, I guess I know the failure. I placed seam.properties also in my WEB-INF/classes-directory.

I guess seam-gen produced ANT-File does not handle classes packaged in a WAR of an EAR correctly.

I do not know, why.
