[jbossseam-issues] Tomcat 5.5 integration issue

[juergen melzer]

Dear all,

Reading the book from Michael Yuan, I tried to deploy a seam project to Tomcat.
Just exactly as written in his book, I used Ant to pack the book examples: "tomcatjpa" and "tomcatejb3" to tomcatjpa.war (and tomcatejb3.war) and deployed it on a fresh installed Tomcat 5.5.23 (by copying the war-file into the Tomcat webapps-folder and restarting Tomcat)

I can't attach the war-file, because it takes more than 10MB, but I used exactly the sources which are available under: 
http://www.michaelyuan.com/blog/seam-next-gen-web-framework/#SeamDownload  (Sample projects for JBoss AS 4.2.0 GA)

I got Java 6 and Ant 1.7 (stable version) on my system.

When I call "http://servername:8080/tomcatjpa/hello.seam" from Browser, I get an error message, that the FacesContextFactory cannot be found.
This error is the same for tomcatjpa and tomcatejb3

My Stacktrace is:
type Exception report
message 
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Please help me, finding the solution to that problem.
I am planning to set up a seam project running on Tomcat 5.5 (I am not allowed to use JBoss; I know, this is bad), beginning soon, so I really appreciate any comment on my little problem.

Thank you so much for your kind help in advance,


J. Melzer
