Eclipse 3.3.2 + JBoss tools 2.0.0GA + JBOSS 4.2 - new SEAM

borner Mar 14, 2008 6:43 PM

I've built a simple shell SEAM project using Eclipse 3.3.2 + JBoss tools 2.0.0GA in accordance with the Seam Dev Tools Reference Guide at http://docs.jboss.org/tools/2.0.0.GA/seam/en/html/create_new_seam.html

I didn't create anything other than what is generated by the SEAM wizard for a new SEAM project. I just tried to deploy to do a quick sanity check.

Deployment fails because the EAR doesn't have the jboss-seam.jar file, even though it is in the EarContent directory generated by the Seam project wizard.

Is there some setting somewhere that I can look at to see where/how the EAR file is actually generated?

Thanks,
Brad

Details:

Eclipse 3.3.2 + JBoss tools 2.0.0GA + JBOSS 4.2.2 GA. I reinstalled eclipse and jboss tools from scratch and did an update to ensure a 'clean' eclipse environment.

Deploying to JBOSS 4.2 generates the following exception on the JBOSS server:

Could not initialise deployment: file:/E:/servers/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy/GreatRides-ear.ear
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Failed to find module file: jboss-seam.jar
at org.jboss.deployment.EARDeployer.init(EARDeployer.java:295)
at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.init(MainDeployer.java:872)
at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.deploy(MainDeployer.java:809)
at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.deploy(MainDeployer.java:782)
...

I have verified that the (project)-ear\EarContent directory does in fact have jboss-seam.jar in it:

(project)-ear\EarContent\
antlr-runtime.jar
drools-compiler.jar
drools-core.jar
jboss-el.jar
jboss-seam.jar
jbpm-jpdl.jar
mvel14.jar
richfaces-api.jar

When I do a jar -tvf on the generated .ear file, jboss-seam.jar (and the others) are missing:

e:/servers/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy $ jar -tvf GreatRides-ear.ear

Summary:

Eclipse 3.3.2 and WTP 2.0.2 break our seam apps. You should either downgrade to the supported platform or read the above-mentioned thread (and the JIRA issue) for work-around advice.

Thanks very much, Rob. I actually commented out the module defs in application.xml and reverted to just Eclipse 3.3.2 (fall) and WTP 2.0.1. Seems to be working like a charm now.

This is my first experience with SEAM. The jboss tools look like they will make working with SEAM a snap. I was trying to work with the seam-gen tool in concert with Eclipse and kept getting confused. Looks like the jboss tools do a very nice job of keep everything manageable.

Thanks again,
Brad
