This is getting into the issue we are discussing here: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4176244#... where we are scanning too many files for classes, and picking up locations that should not be on the classpath. There is a standard lib location for libraries added to ears where these should be placed so that we are not recursively scanning too many locations. For the two jars jboss-seam.jar, jboss-seam-booking.jar, they both have an org.jboss.seam package? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4176261#...
