Nested exception: java.net.UnknownHostException: jboss.com at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:177) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:519) Recommend added error handling in org.jboss.seam.util.XML.getRootElement method or better yet org.jboss.seam.navigation.Pages.getDocumentRoot method and log the problem there.
