Guys, I have been working with this for a few days to try and get it working. I have added portlet config files to the seam blog example to try and simulate the set up that I was hoping to use for a project. Have installed using the 1.2.0BETA JbossAS installer and selected the Portal profile. I have had the seam 1.0.1GA portal example working fine. However I am getting problems when trying to move to the seam + portlet + ejb3 + facelets in an EAR config. Does anyone have a working example of this setup? Am I doing something that won't work? Can post added configs if it will help. Andy.
