[seam-dev] Summary of a tentative to run seam-booking (from Seam 3 CR3) on WebSphere v8 beta

[Denis Forveille]

Here is a summary of the problems I had while trying to run seam-booking (from seam CR3) in websphere v8 beta (march refresh)
I was not able to start the applications
I will make another tentative when the next release os Seam 3 will be out
Some of the JIRA are already resolved.

PS: For those who would like to try to do the same thing, edit file <app_install_dir>/properties/amm.filter.properties in WAS and 
remove references to packag org.jboss.seam in this file  before deploying the app.
