Seam won't work in 4.0.2, for Seam 1.0.1.GA you need to use the JEMS installed as discussed in the getting started guide. If you deploy a (non-exploded) war then JBoss will internally unpack the war but it's not something you should be touching. If you are after an exploded war this is discussed on the Wiki. The log file is in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/log/server.log View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3976247#...
