      While going through the Jboss Seam examples as a tutorial/learning exercise, I encountered a problem with only the Seam-Spring tutorial example.

      The Seam-Spring example generates a java.lang.NullPointerException error.

      Based on what I have read in the Jboss forums, I think I have a ClassLoader problem. But I do not know why? (as this is a stock tutorial example)

      The following software versions are installed on my computer.
      Jboss AS=4.0.5-r2
      Spring =2.0.3
      Jboss Seam=1.2.1 GA

      While disecting the problem, I reduced the Spring configuration file applicationContext.xml to the bare minimum while preserving the same generated error. (All other files in the tutorial are untouched) 

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

 <bean id="userService" class="org.jboss.seam.example.spring.UserService">
 <property name="entityManager" ref="em"/>
 <seam:component />
 </bean>

 <seam:instance name="entityManager" id="em" proxy="true"/>
</beans>


      What can I do to make Spring register, the userService bean as a component with Seam/SeamListener ?

      Any ideas anyone?
      Thanks in advance
