Kill eclipse - kill the leftover running jboss as - publish and now the files are there. Anyone with an idea on what is going on ? Is the publishing started before our project wizard has completed ? /maxOk, found out why: Below is a copy of a compare of two identical projects (except one is called test2w the other testw). Notice the "16 folders and files only on right" section. The second project does not have all files - especially not the components.properties which causes the exception because @jndiPattern@ cannot be resolved. I then tried running Project > Clean and now the publisher is stuck at 75%.

If I do the actual project creation and deploy with JDK5 then it works - except i'm seeing that the -ds.xml is deployed, but the actual war is not before I actually run it. ...and now I redid it with JDK5 and I have the same problem - this time with a war. The first project runs fine, the second does not. Something is definitly broken! /maxwait...might be caused by me running jdk 6 ... /maxI finally got this version down and now the jboss-seam.jar file seem to be deployed but the seam application does not start. I get: 15:02:53,465 ERROR [ContainerBase] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener java.lang.RuntimeException: error while reading /WEB-INF/components.xml at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.initComponentsFromXmlDocument(Initialization.java:137) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.create(Initialization.java:87) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener.contextInitialized(SeamListener.java:33) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:3854) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4352) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:752) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:732) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:553) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) When you tested that it deployed, did you guys also test that the app actually were able to run ? /maxOk... so... A full JBDS build was created. It worked about 50% of the time. I know this sounds horrible, but, it did ;) The times it did *not* work was because of a ClassCastException in eclipse in the very same class that's been our problem the entire time. I've come to the conclusion that their entire JEEDeployableFactory is crap, a conclusion validated by the fact that theyv'e changed it entirely in 3.0. Either way, I added in further exception checks. I am confident that this is the only thing standing in our way. A new build is being started right now. It should be finished in an hour or three... and when it is, it would be excellent if it could be tested extensively! Good luck, and I'll be back online in 6 hours or so! - Rob Stryker
