I added a new s:button with the same #{packageEditAction.selectReleasePackage} side by side on the same page and it executes normally (well at least I get to the intended view (I have other types of errors but it is not in the interest of this thread) I believe there is something seriously wrong with my setup. I can't conceive this would be bugs in seam2.0. see my config, the web.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" | xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" | xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"> | | | <!-- Seam --> | <listener> | <listener-class> | org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener | </listener-class> | </listener> | | <servlet> | <servlet-name>Seam Resource Servlet</servlet-name> | <servlet-class> | org.jboss.seam.servlet.ResourceServlet | </servlet-class> | </servlet> | | <servlet-mapping> | <servlet-name>Seam Resource Servlet</servlet-name> | <url-pattern>/seam/resource/*</url-pattern> | </servlet-mapping> | | <!-- ************************ Seam Filter **************************** --> | | <filter> | <filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name> | <filter-class>org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter</filter-class> | </filter> | | <filter-mapping> | <filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name> | <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> | </filter-mapping> | | | <!-- JSF --> | <context-param> | <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name> | <param-value>client</param-value> | </context-param> | | <!-- --> | <context-param> | <param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name> | <param-value>.xhtml</param-value> | </context-param> | | <context-param> | <param-name>facelets.DEVELOPMENT</param-name> | <param-value>true</param-value> | </context-param> | | | | <!-- ************************ Faces Servlet Mapping **************************** --> | <servlet> | <servlet-name>javax.faces.FacesServlet</servlet-name> | <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class> | <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> | </servlet> | | <servlet-mapping> | <servlet-name>javax.faces.FacesServlet</servlet-name> | <url-pattern>*.seam</url-pattern> | </servlet-mapping> | | </web-app> faces-config.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <!DOCTYPE faces-config | PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.0//EN" | "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd"> | <faces-config> | <application> | <view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</view-handler> | </application> | </faces-config> components.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <components xmlns="http://jboss.com/products/seam/components" | xmlns:core="http://jboss.com/products/seam/core" | xmlns:security="http://jboss.com/products/seam/security" | xmlns:transaction="http://jboss.com/products/seam/transaction" | xmlns:persistence="http://jboss.com/products/seam/persistence" | xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" | xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.com/products/seam/core http://jboss.com/products/seam/core-2.0.xsd | http://jboss.com/products/seam/security http://jboss.com/products/seam/security-2.0.xsd | http://jboss.com/products/seam/transaction http://jboss.com/products/seam/transaction-2.0.xsd | http://jboss.com/products/seam/components http://jboss.com/products/seam/components-2.0.xsd | http://jboss.com/products/seam/persistence http://jboss.com/products/seam/persistence-2.0.xsd"> | | <component name="org.jboss.seam.core.init"> | <property name="myFacesLifecycleBug">true</property> | <property name="jndiPattern"> | rdm-0.1-SNAPSHOT/#{ejbName}/local | </property> | <property name="debug">false</property> | </component> | | <component name="org.jboss.seam.remoting.remoting"> | <property name="debug">false</property> | </component> | | <core:manager conversation-timeout="120000" | concurrent-request-timeout="500" conversation-id-parameter="cid" /> | | <persistence:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager" | persistence-unit-jndi-name="java:/rdmEntityManagerFactory" /> | | <transaction:ejb-transaction /> | </components> I don't have any pages.xml setup, I don't think the issue is in the persistence layer therefore I haven't included my datasource.xml and persistence.xml. Let me know if you have any pointers. I am seriously considering starting from scratch with an example app as a template and slowly adding to it and see at which point it will start breaking.
