Looking through the log-file, I see this error: 16:14:20,044 INFO [Component] Component: entityManager, scope: CONVERSATION, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: org.jboss.seam.core.ManagedPersistenceContext | 16:14:20,044 DEBUG [Component] entityManager.entityManagerFactory=omegaDatabase | 16:14:20,060 ERROR [[/omega]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener | java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No converter for type: org.jboss.seam.core.Expressions$ValueBinding | at org.jboss.seam.util.Conversions.getConverter(Conversions.java:55) | at org.jboss.seam.Component$ConstantInitialValue.<init>(Component.java:1998) This suggests that Seam is succeeding in making an entityManagerFactory instance, but cannot pass it to the SeamListener. How to fix this? I have no idea... Seam continues to tease me... -Michael View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4027377#...
