I removed the path, look: <!DOCTYPE pages PUBLIC | "-//JBoss/Seam Pages Configuration DTD 1.2//EN" | "pages-1.2.dtd"> | ... this way lookup is done locally. This is an awful patch, but does the trick for me. Actually, resource must be fetched from jars, there's an uri version error on jars, I however changed this and everything works fine. Your "Can't parse configuration" may actually be something else, maybe this time there is an actual error in your pages.xml. I instead use several .page.xml with no trouble. You can try with the simplest (empty) pages.xml file, if it starts your app, then there's a syntax error. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4046238#...
