hello, We have just upgraded our application from Seam 1.1 Beta 2 to jboss-seam-1.1.0.CR2. From then on i am getting this exception when the classes are being scanned by seam during server startup. 21:10:14,775 INFO [Initialization] initializing Seam 21:10:14,785 INFO [Scanner] scanning: C:\devtools\eprocurement-tomcat\webapps\eprocurement\WEB-INF\classes 21:10:19,542 INFO [Scanner] scanning: /C:/devtools/eprocurement-tomcat/webapps/eprocurement/WEB-INF/lib/jboss-seam.jar 21:10:21,505 ERROR [[/eprocurement]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener java.lang.IllegalStateException: Two components with the same name and precedence: emailSession at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.addComponentDescriptor(Initialization.java:351) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.installScannedComponentAndRoles(Initialization.java:500) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.installScannedClass(Initialization.java:449) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.scanForComponents(Initialization.java:443) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.init(Initialization.java:426) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener.contextInitialized(SeamListener.java:33) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:3763) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4211) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:759) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:739) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:524) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory(HostConfig.java:904) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectories(HostConfig.java:867) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:474) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.start(HostConfig.java:1122) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent(HostConfig.java:310) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:119) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1021) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:718) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1013) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:442) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:450) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:709) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:551) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:294) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:432) emailSession is an application component defined in components.xml. I pass some properties to this component through components.xml | <component class="com.OutboundEmailSession"> | <property name="host">emalhost</property> | <property name=&quot;fromAddress&quot;&gt;me(a)test.com | </property> | <property name="fromName">My Name</property> | </component> | This error disappears when I remove this component declaration from components.xml I guess when i declare my component in components.xml the component is found twice by seam during initialization This was working fine when in Beta 2. Is there a change in component precedence which i have to explicitly set for using CR1.2. regards Venkatesh View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3991655#...
