You're not bugging me. Something not working the way I expect it to work bugging me. :) anonymous wrote : | but its barfing on startup now with error that seams needs to be configured before spring. | This is probably the heart of the problem. The Spring ContextLoaderListener needs to be loaded after the SeamListener. It may be a matter of simply changing the order in your web.xml. In the next release you will be able to use seam:context-loader to load the spring application context as a seam component. Anyway, give it a try if you want.
