Hi,
I've just spent the day trying to figure this out. Not an easy task :)
Background : I have a Seam 2.1.2 application working well with JBossAS 4.2.3. For various reasons (one of them being up to date and working RESTEasy support), I'd like to upgrade to Seam 2.2.0 or later. This needs JBossAS 5.1.0.
So, after a few obvious fixes and adjustments, I have my application almost completely working, that is great.
But, I can't get the explode feature to work correctly. When I try workarounds mentioned on seamframework.org, I get the redeploy infinite loop. When I try to fix redeploy infinite loop, I get other deployment errors. I've tried many things advised here and there : there is always something wrong. I guess the main reason is that there is no central place that states step by step how to deal with this : reading the various topics and faqs you're never sure what you're supposed to change at the same time.
What I've not tried is building JBossAS 5.x branch : not found in svn anymore. There is Branch_5_x_BootstrapLegacyRemoval or Branch_5_x_JBM2. Is one of them suitable ?
I've not tried JBossAS 6.M3 release either. Is this suitable for an already existing seam application ? (started with the early versions of Seam).finite
It's sad seing how frustrating and complicated this is to get something working, whereas it was as simple as download and deploy before.
I'm willing to spend time testing, helping, building to make this work, please advise and thank you for your time and work !
