Thanks! I was not using seam-gen as of yet to create the projects. For now so I can understand better I am trying to recreate the hello world example from scratch by myself and see if I can get it up and running. My thought is that this way I would be better able to understand the configuration files since I will have to write them from scratch on my own using the examples as a help resource. So far in the configuration files in the examples that come with Seam 1.2.1 GA have not indicated anything in the form of a datasource.
