I am using Seam 1.2.1GA anonymous wrote : 12:29:06,046 INFO [ServletContextListener] Welcome to Seam 1.2.1 | I dropped in the latest log4j.jar from JBoss 4.2.1GA build in front of the client's classpath. Made no differences. I am starting to doubt if it's Seam at all since I have Seam's component performing multiple Context.lookup() to get to the backend components. They were done within the same server whereas my client attempted to connect from a separate JVM. Not sure how to proceed however.
