I'm currently migrating a Seam 2 application (Seam 2.1 / JEE 5 on JBoss 4.2 / ant) to a newer environment (Seam 2 / JEE 6 on JBoss 6.0 / maven). The deployment is EAR, the project layout is as maven multi-module project:

• app-service (for ejbs)


• - components.xml


• - seam.properties

• app-web(for web)


• - components.xml


• - seam.properties

I don't get past this error message in the boot log:      

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: You must specify org.jboss.seam.core.init.jndiPattern or use @JndiName: com.....auswertung.IAuswertungFacade
     at org.jboss.seam.Component.getJndiName(Component.java:454) [:2.2.2.Final]
     at org.jboss.seam.Component.<init>(Component.java:236) [:2.2.2.Final]
     at org.jboss.seam.Component.<init>(Component.java:208) [:2.2.2.Final]
     at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.addComponent(Initialization.java:1186) [:2.2.2.Final]
     ... 111 more

Both modules contain the required configuration in components.xml

     <core:init jndi-pattern="app-ear/#{ejbName}/local" debug="true" />

Interestingly enough, when I initially forgot seam.properties in the web-module, everything started fine (but did not intialize any seam web components).

I also tried a lot with different names and config configurations.

As a small success: It seems to work if I manually add the following to each EJB

@JndiName(value = "...")

But I don't want to edit some 250 EJBsby hand... :-(

Any comments on this?

Also any hints to a documented migration path Seam 2 to JBoss AS 6 would be highly appreciated.
