seam v2.0beta takes ages to start on WebSphere v6.1.0.9 I use seam 2.0 beta, JSF 1.2 RI + facelets, and seam takes ages to start (1.5h+). In the log4j traces I see those messages related to a problem with a DTD validation | ... | DEBUG [core.Events ] - Processing event:org.jboss.seam.preSetVariable.org.jboss.seam.ui.entityConverterStore.component | DEBUG [seam.Component ] - instantiating Seam component: org.jboss.seam.core.events | DEBUG [seam.Component ] - initializing new instance of: org.jboss.seam.core.events | DEBUG [seam.Component ] - done initializing: org.jboss.seam.core.events | DEBUG [seam.Component ] - instantiating Seam component: org.jboss.seam.core.events | DEBUG [seam.Component ] - initializing new instance of: org.jboss.seam.core.events | DEBUG [seam.Component ] - done initializing: org.jboss.seam.core.events | DEBUG [core.Events ] - Processing event:org.jboss.seam.postSetVariable.org.jboss.seam.ui.entityConverterStore.component | DEBUG [util.DTDEntityResolver] - trying to resolve system-id [http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd] | WARN [init.Initialization ] - Couldn't parse META-INF/ejb-jar.xml for component types Operation timed out: connect:could be due to invalid address Nested exception: Operation timed out: connect:could be due to invalid address | DEBUG [util.DTDEntityResolver] - trying to resolve system-id [http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd] | WARN [init.Initialization ] - Couldn't parse META-INF/ejb-jar.xml for component types Operation timed out: connect:could be due to invalid address Nested exception: Operation timed out: connect:could be due to invalid address | DEBUG [util.DTDEntityResolver] - trying to resolve system-id [http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd] | WARN [init.Initialization ] - Couldn't parse META-INF/ejb-jar.xml for component types Operation timed out: connect:could be due to invalid address Nested exception: Operation timed out: connect:could be due to invalid address | INFO [seam.Component ] - Component: org.jboss.seam.ui.graphicImage.graphicImageResource, scope: APPLICATION, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: org.jboss.seam.ui.graphicImage.GraphicImageResource | DEBUG [seam.Component ] - instantiating Seam component: org.jboss.seam.core.events | ... | It seems it's trying to validate something against the ejb-jar_2_0.dtd file. It does this for most of the classes present in jboss-seam.jar and jboss-seam-ui.jar. Where does this come from? is there something missing in my classpath? is it related to seam or to WebSphere? is there a way to disable this validation? will I win to the lottery next saturday? That makes a lot of questions indeed... Any help appreciated View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4062707#...
