Hi

I have a problem deploying several seam applications in the same jboss. The applications have two parts; a jar file wich has all the bussiness layer of the application (persistance and services) and a war file that has all the interface logic.

In the /lib of the jboss server instance i had to include these libraries:

jboss-el.jar
jboss-seam.jar
jboss-seam-debug.jar
jboss-seam-ui-jar
jsf-api.jar
jsf-facelets.jar
jsf-impl.jar
richfaces-api-3.3.0.GA.jar
richfaces-impl-3.3.0.GA.jar
richfaces-ui-3.3.0.GA.jar
amf-serializer-1.7.1.jar
axis.jar
flamingo-service-1.7.1.jar
scannotation-1.0.2.jar

that way, the jar and war files only have the classes, not the libraries.

These are the configuration files included for each application:

in the jar files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

in the war files:

        <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView}" />
    </event>
</components>

in the web.xml

<filter>
        <filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>

<filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.seam</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

There are some fancy pages in the problematic applications that are developed with flex; so we used flamingo to glue the seam / flex part. these are the services-config.xml files

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<services-config>
    <services>
        <service id="[appPrefix]-remoting-service" class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService"
            messageTypes="flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage">
                  ............ [destinations]
        </service>
    </services>

    <channels>
        <channel-definition id="[appPrefix]-seam-amf"
            class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
            <endpoint
                uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/[appPrefix]Intranet/seam/resource/amf"
                class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint" />
        </channel-definition>
    </channels>

</services-config>

in the appPrefix part, we placed a prefix to differentiate each application configuration separately.

The problem with this is that, if i deploy both applications that uses seam/flamingo/flex together, only the last one deployed works. The first one deployed, for some reason, cannot access the remote resources needed so it cannot work. That first deployed application fails with this exception:

At first i thought that flamingo was the problem, but then, i tried to access the remote resources via xhtml pages with seam remote objects and it gave me the same problems, so i assume that seam is the problem here but i cannot figure out why and how to fix it

please help

thanks a lot
