Hello All,

I'm trying to use Seam for the time. I use seam-2.1.2, jdk5, mysql-5.1, jboss-5.0.1 for a registration sample. And i'm getting the following error (copied from JBoss Seam Debug Page):

Exception during request processing:

Now this is my action:

@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.EVENT)
@Name("register")
@ApplicationException(rollback=true)
public class RegisterAction implements Register
{
     @In(required=false) @Out(required=false) 
     @Valid
     private User user;
     
     private Session toolSession;
     
     @In
     private transient FacesContext facesContext;
     
     List<User> existing;
     
     private String verify;

@Transactional
public String register() {
if(user.getPassword().equals(verify)){
existing= new ArrayList<User>();
existing= toolSession.createQuery("SELECT username from User where username = '#{user.username}' ; ").list() ;
if(existing.size() == 0){
toolSession.persist(user);
facesContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Successfully registered as #{user.username}"));
return "login";
}
else{
facesContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("username already exists"));
return null;
}
}
else{
facesContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("re-enter your password"));
verify= null;
return null;
}
}

PS.: i get the error after i press the button register to send the user's data from the browser to mysql throw the logic.

Any help will be appreciated!
thanx in advance.
