Denis Forveille commented on JBSEAM-4022:
-----------------------------------------
I'm not sure this is the place to discuss this, we should use the forum for this I
think, however, yes, we have various scope seam components in the web side, many factories
(to build list for s:convertEnum, tags for exemple), converters, filters and
"presentation related" components
Do you have a seam.properties file at the top root of your classes directory with the
seam-jndi.properties file (ie at the root of your src directory in RAD/RSA)? did you
remove all other seam.properties files in your web modules? did you put components.xml,
pages.xml ... in WEB-INF? did you remove all the components.xml files you could have
elsewhere in your
ComponentScanner fails with classes in WEB-INF/classes on websphere

Key: JBSEAM-4022
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4022
Project: Seam
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA
Environment: Websphere 7.0 (also reported on Websphere 6.1)
Reporter: John Eckhart
Attachments: classdescriptor.patch
This bug is a follow-on to 2347 which was rejected. Since it doesn't appear possible
to request a bug be "reopened", I've created a new bug to track the
problem.
The problem: When a Seam annotated class is included in a WAR file, the filename of the
class will be "WEB-INF/classes/com/mycompany/MyClass.class". Theoretically, this
IS the filename as the classes are packaged under WEB-INF/classes, however, the
classloader does not recognize/ignore "WEB-INF/classes/" as part of the name
(which is logical, since the classpath includes everything under this directory). This
causes ComponentScanner to throw the following exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
WEB-INF.classes.com.mycompany.Myclass
The previous issue was rejected with the following rationale: "This turned out to be
a user error, not a websphere issues. The classpath was correct, but the user put a
META-INF/components.xml in the WAR which causes the scanning error."
However:
Where would the components.xml go if a project is broken into WAR, JAR (for JPA), JAR
(for EJB), and finally EAR (containing the mentioned components)?
Based on the examples I've read for WebSphere , the recommended place for
components.xml is in the WAR file. Moreover, it would stand to reason that including seam
components in the WAR would be beneficial (ie POJO components as backing beans for jsf
pages).
I ran into this issue recently in Websphere 7.0 where I had a Seam managed POJO as a
backing bean to a JSF page. The bean wouldn't load because of the
NoClassDefFoundError. I patched seam to work-around this issue as I didn't see any
other solution (JSF backing beans don't belong in my JPA or EJB layers).
