I am trying to deploy a very basic bean as a seam backing bean. I am deploying the class in the WEB-INF/classes directory. The JBoss logs indicate that seam scans the war file and finds the annotated class. I beleive Seam then attempts to deploy it as a backing bean, but does not know the classes are in the classes directory. It appears to deploy from the root of the war file. It thinks the classes should be in the package WEB-INF/classes/web/utils. Any ideas why? Here is the error I am getting: 2007-08-09 11:39:09,592 DEBUG [org.jboss.seam.deployment.ComponentScanner] found component class: WEB-INF/classes/web/utils/Test.class | 2007-08-09 11:39:09,608 DEBUG [org.jboss.seam.deployment.ComponentScanner] could not load class (missing dependency): WEB-INF.classes.web.utils.Test | java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: WEB-INF/classes/web/utils/Test (wrong name: web/utils/Test) Here is the class: import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType; | | import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name; | import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope; | | @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) | @Name("test") | public class Test | { | private String text = "hello"; | | public String getText() | { | return text; | } | | public void setText(String text) | { | this.text = text; | } | } View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4072665#...
