Philippe Leménager [http://community.jboss.org/people/cinephil] created the discussion "Simple Seam app configured for Tomcat" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/564739#564739 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Seamians ! :) I've been trying to config a simple seam test project for Tomcat 6 using JBoss Tools but it still doesn't work after reading many things about it on the Internet and trying the solutions proposed. :( 1) New Seam Web Project 1.a) Seam web project window Project name : projettest Target runtime : Apache Tomcat v6.0 Dynamic web module version : 2.5 (default choice) Target Server : Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost Configuration : Dynamic Web Project with Seam 2.2 (default choice) NEXT 1.b) Java NEXT 1.c) Web Module NEXT 1.d) JSF Capabilities After some unsuccessfull tries, I've created a user-library with jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar taken in jboss-seam-2.2.0.GA/lib directory and selected this new library + "Include libraries with this application". I lived the other things by default. NEXT 1.d) Seam Facet Seam Runtime : jboss-seam-2.2.0.GA Deploy as : WAR Database type : MySQL5 (InnoDB) Connection profile MysQL Test (configured and tested) Database Schema Name : Test Database Catalog Name : Test DB Tables already exists in database : selected (the database contains only one simple table called users (usr_id, username, name, password) with two lines inside). I leaved the other options as default. FINISH => The project has been created without errors. 2) Changing some things, after reading issues about this operation. 2.a) projettest/WebContent/META-INF/context.xml 2.b) projettest/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml 2.c) projettest/WebContent/WEB-INF/components.xml I've deleted all params in tag <core:init /> 2.d) projettest/WebContent/WEB-INF/pages.xml I've commented the last tag <exception>, this one : <!-- <exception>         <redirect view-id="/error.xhtml">             <message severity="error">Unexpected error, please try again</message>         </redirect>     </exception> --> 2.e) Added jars I copied from jboss-seam-2.2.0.GA/lib those jars : - commons-collections.jar - commons-lang.jar - commons-logging.jar - concurrent.jar - dom4j.jar - hibernate-annotations.jar - hibernate-common-annotations.jar - hibernate-core.jar - hibernate-entitymanager.jar - hibernate-search.jar - hibernate-validator.jar - javassist.jar - jboss-common-core.jar - jta.jar - log4j.jar - lucene-core.jar - persistence-api.jar - slf4j-api.jar - slf4j-log4j12.jar 2.f) log4j.xml I've copied the file log4j.xml from jboss-seam-jpa example project to projettest/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes. 3) Starting Tomcat and trying to access to the project There is no error when I start Tomcat, just this info message : org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext addApplicationListener INFO: The listener "com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener" is already configured for this context. The duplicate definition has been ignored. I also have this WARN : WARN  [PersistentPermissionResolver] no permission store available - please install a PermissionStore with the name 'org.jboss.seam.security.jpaPermissionStore' if persistent permissions are required. When I type http://localhost:8080/projettest http://localhost:8080/projettest in Firefox, I already have the "Welcome to Seam!" page with the url http://localhost:8080/projettest/home.seam http://localhost:8080/projettest/home.seam but some errors appears in Tomcat console : 12:22:09,217 ERROR [SeamPhaseListener] swallowing exception java.lang.RuntimeException: exception invoking: getTransaction     at org.jboss.seam.util.Reflections.invokeAndWrap(Reflections.java:154) ... Caused by: javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance     at org.apache.naming.factory.TransactionFactory.getObjectInstance(TransactionFactory.java:113) ... 12:22:09,310 WARN  [SeamPhaseListener] uncaught exception, passing to exception handler java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not commit transaction     at org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamPhaseListener.commitOrRollback(SeamPhaseListener.java:625) ... Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: exception invoking: getTransaction     at org.jboss.seam.util.Reflections.invokeAndWrap(Reflections.java:154) ... Caused by: javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot create resource instance     at org.apache.naming.factory.TransactionFactory.getObjectInstance(TransactionFactory.java:113) ... Many times the same errors. 4) Generate entities 4.1) New Seam Generate Entities Reverse engineer from database is selected NEXT 4.2) Select Tables I had to click on the Refresh button because no database had appeared. Then I selected Test database and clicked on the Include button. FINISH => Some more files have been generated successfully. 5) Trying to browse data After reloading the home page, a "Browse Data / Users List" menu appears. When I click on it, I already have the UsersList.seam page with some more ERROR [SeamPhaseListener] swallowing exception in Tomcat Console. If I click on the Search button, with ou without something in the fields of the page, the application crashes with these errors : org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke GRAVE: "Servlet.service()" pour la servlet Faces Servlet a généré une exception javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /UsersList.xhtml @19,81 value="#{usersList.users.username}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'usersList' resolved to null     at com.sun.facelets.el.TagValueExpression.getType(TagValueExpression.java:62) ... I've searched on the Internet but didn't find clear explanation and solution. Someone here can help me ? Thanks in advance. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/564739#564739] Start a new discussion in JBoss Tools at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
