Rob Jellinghaus commented on JBSEAM-2183:
-----------------------------------------

OK, so http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=EmbeddedAndTomcat clarifies that this is because JBoss Embedded now has to be installed manually under Tomcat for any Seam webapps to work.

Why was this change made?  In Seam 1.2.0, you could do "ant tomcat.deploy" and it would create a WAR file that just worked.  Having a major manual step for deploying a Seam webapp under Tomcat means that Seam examples become much harder to publish and share.  

I consider this a pretty serious deployment regression in Seam.  It would be really great if there were a way to return to the Tomcat deployment style of Seam 1.2.0, where all the necessary embedded pieces were part of the webapp itself.  So I guess that's what this bug is now.

> I can build Seam 2.0.0.CR3 just fine (maven does its wacky dance without complaint), and "cd examples/blog; ant tomcat.deploy" works.  I then copy jboss-seam-blog.war from the directory where it puts it into my actual Tomcat webapps directory, and start up Tomcat.  And boom:

> Which makes sense, because that class is defined in el-api.jar and jsp-api,jar, neither of which are packaged into jboss-seam-blog.war.
> This is too bad, because this used to work in Seam 1.2.0.
> Reported this on the forum, then tried it with 2.0.0CR3, same problem.
