Yes, deploy.tomcat was the target I used. As far I can tell, the problem is the components.xml file that is created. Mine is: <components> | | <component name="org.jboss.seam.core.init"> | <property name="myFacesLifecycleBug">false</property> | <property name="debug">true</property> | </component> | | <!-- 120 second conversation timeout --> | <component name="org.jboss.seam.core.manager"> | <property name="conversationTimeout">120000</property> | </component> | | <!-- Bootstrap Hibernate --> | <component name="bookingDatabase" | class="org.jboss.seam.core.ManagedHibernateSession"/> | <component class="org.jboss.seam.core.Hibernate"/> | <component class="org.jboss.seam.core.Microcontainer" | installed=""/> | | </components> When I remove the installed-attribute, the JNDI Service is available, but hibernate is initialised 2 times. But that's another issue. Could you plz check if deploy.tomcat works for you and what the content of your components.xml file is. Thanks!
