I downloaded the pages-1.2.dtd and put it under jboss's bin directory. When Seam loaded my app, it still complained that it could not read the pages.xml. This time, the error was different. anonymous wrote : 16:49:46,890 ERROR [[/tradedesk]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener | javax.faces.FacesException: Can't parse configuration file: jndi:/localhost/tradedesk/WEB-INF/pages.xml: Error at line -1 column -1: null | How did you manage to have JBoss recognized the local DTD file?
