Hi, newbie to JBoss Seams, some java/J2EE experience some years ago. Am following the quickstart as per JBoss Seam article on a WinXP machine, http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossseam/gettingstarted Have downloaded and installed JDK 5.0 or above and Ant 1.6. - Downloaded java_ee_sdk-5-windows.exe, installed , hello app working, Duke says hello. - Downloaded apache-ant-1.6.5-bin.zip, updated path variables, added ANT_Home, Ant seemed to install OK. Downloaded the JEMS installer (jems-installer-1.2.0.BETA.jar) for JBoss AS 4.0.4 and installed it with the EJB 3.0 profile selected. No major errors in install log, finishes with ******* Executing all afterpacks actions of jmx-core ... ******* Executing all afterpacks actions of jbossws5 ... Started JBoss AS with the bin/run - a few warning messages... --- MBEANS THAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM --- ObjectName: jboss.jca:service=RARDeployment,name='jboss-local-jdbc.rar' State: NOTYETINSTALLED Depends On Me: jboss.jca:service=ManagedConnectionFactory,name=bookingDatasource jboss.jca:service=ManagedConnectionFactory,name=DefaultDS ObjectName: jboss:service=Naming State: FAILED Reason: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 1098; ne eption is: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind I Depend On: jboss.system:service=ThreadPool Depends On Me: jboss.ws:service=WebServiceClientDeployer jboss.ws.eventing:service=SubscriptionManager jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager jboss.mq:service=Invoker jboss.mq:service=InvocationLayer,type=UIL jboss.mq:service=InvocationLayer,type=UILXA jboss.mq:service=InvocationLayer,type=UIL2,alias=UIL2ConnectionFacto jboss.mq:service=InvocationLayer,type=UIL2XA,alias=UIL2XAConnectionF jboss.jms:alias=QueueConnectionFactory jboss.jms:alias=TopicConnectionFactory jboss.jmx:type=adaptor,name=Invoker,protocol=jrmp,service=proxyFacto jboss.jmx:alias=jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor jboss:service=TransactionManager ObjectName: jboss:service=WebService State: FAILED Reason: java.lang.Exception: Port 8083 already in use.

Edited build.properties in the Seam directory and configured the path to the JBoss AS installation directory. In the jboss-seam/examples/booking directory, typed ant deploy (OK) and checked for any error messages (none). Pointed my browser to http://localhost:8080/seam-booking/ - Http Status 404 error. What have i done wrong? Thanks, Nick View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3982098#...
