Pete - yup i have @Name on all the componets. Checking the debug window when it loads up i see it registering the component. And it accesses it via the xhtml page, which it would not be able to do if it wasnt. Heck when i check the stack trace i see it passing through SeamBeanInterceptor (aroundInvoke) i believe. nickarls> I actually did that for the most part. I was trying not to at first. Personally i am sure its something very stupid or its an app server issue. So i am going to deploy my "demo" i have been cutting and pasting from to upgrade and go from there. Again, parts of this structure were here when i got here, but nothing stands out at me as the "issue" View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4123498#...
