Hi all, I have a very unusual task at my work and I'm struggeling to find a way to accomplish what my team leader wants. We are writing an app that is using Spring for transaction management and for some *unknown/stupid* reason they do not want seam to handle persistence. However, I am running into all sorts of problems at the moment trying to set seam up without any persistence information. All we really want from seam is how much easier it makes writing the jsf side of things. First problem I'm having. If i disable transactions in components.xml using: <core:init transaction-management-enabled="false"/> I get the following error on every request a browswer makes to a page. 2007-10-10 15:32:29,898 ERROR [http-8080-1] contexts.Contexts (Contexts.java:335) - could not discover transaction status If I just put in the components.xml the following: <core:init debug="true"/> I get the following

honest I'm relatively inexperienced in Java and am not sure if the Spring example is doing what I want to achieve. That is if it is even possible. Could someone point me in the direction I should be going? I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with components.xml but I'm confused as to what I have to put in there to make it all work.
