Using "org.jboss.seam.preDestroyContext.Application" does not call the method at all, I then assumed it was because "Application" should be "APPLICATION" so Using "org.jboss.seam.preDestroyContext.APPLICATION" we get the following exception. | 15:18:45,718 INFO [TomcatDeployer] undeploy, ctxPath=/embedded-console, warUrl=.../tmp/deploy/tmp6323embedded-console-e | xp.war/ | 15:18:45,734 ERROR [[/embedded-console]] Exception sending context destroyed event to listener instance of class org.jbo | ss.seam.servlet.SeamListener | java.lang.IllegalStateException: no event context active | at org.jboss.seam.web.ServletContexts.instance(ServletContexts.java:40) | at org.jboss.seam.web.Parameters.getRequestParameters(Parameters.java:39) | And that kind of looks like the same thing that we got for @Destroy "no event context active" Wait, if this is a redeploy, so I am overwriting the .war file, is the original Class still in the ClassLoader for it to call the @Destroy or event method? Or is it gone when JBoss AS/Tomcat undeploys it? Maybe that has something to do with what we are seeing. Just a wild guess.
