Ok, reproduced it (and understand how to reproduce!). using Seam 2.0.0.CR2 of jboss-seam.jar in EAR. 1) deploy (packaged or exploded, doesn't matter) and start Jboss 4.2.1.GA 2) click URL link in IE7: http://localhost:8080/securityAudit/ 3) NTLM authentication occurs immediately based on index.html forwarding to login.xhtml and pages.xml config (using JCIFS jar). 4) Factory method fires and dataTable loads/renders in xhtml (only one xhtml in this use case). 5) There are two SFSB's, one conversation scoped (the "main" one) and one session scoped. 6) wait for SFSB's to passivate (I will see the following output in Eclipse console): | 10:24:57,580 INFO [NoteAction] in prePassivate | 10:24:57,627 INFO [SecurityAuditAction] in prePassivate 7) click the link in the richfaces menu bar to run the use case again (reRender/load the facelet/dataTable). 8) immediately see the following stack trace in console in Eclipse. Perhaps it's an issue with my implementation and/or CR2. What's the best way to upgrade a Seam EAR (app) from CR2 to GA??? Can I simply replace the jboss-seam.jar or are there others that need to be replaced as well (I'm thinking the latter). Maybe seam-gen and copy/paste files and config xml info? thx. javax.faces.FacesException: javax.el.ELException: /adminSecurityAudit.xhtml @91,82
