Running Seam examples with JBoss Application Server 4.2.X

Running ant deploy resulted in build failure using ant 1.6.0. After installing ant 1.6.5 the build was successful.

The build.properties file didn't have an entry for 'jboss.home' and although I've added one with value pointing to my JBoss AS install dir, when I perform the ant deploy of the booking example, the EAR gets placed under C:/jboss-seam-2.1.0.A1/examples/booking/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy instead of C:/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy which is where I reckon it should be copied into. Am running JBoss 4.2.2.GA and Seam 2.1.0.A1

I get a BUILD FAILURE with Ant 1.7.0. Could somebody help me?

I get:

BUILD FAILED c:\PROGRA~1\JBOSS\-~1.CR1\examples\build.xml:618: Failed to copy c:\PROGRA~1\JBOS S\-~1.CR1\examples\dvdstore\resources\jboss-seam-dvd-ds.xml to c:\PROGRA~1\JBOSS- ~1.CR1\examples\dvdstore\Programmejboss-4.2.2.GA \server\default\deploy\jboss-se am-dvd-ds.xml due to java.io.FileNotFoundException c:\PROGRA~1\JBOSS-~1.CR1\exam ples\dvdstore\Programmejboss-4.2.2.GA \server\default\deploy\jboss-seam-dvd-ds.x ml (Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden)

I found numerous errors when using 'ant deploy' in fedora 8/9, the key to fixing this was to set JAVA_HOME in the /etc/ant.conf file to point to the correct jdk.

Hope this helps some people.

Thanks.

I tried to run the examples with jbossAS5.0.4-beta and it's not working. I know that the instructions said to run on jbossAS4.2, but isn't supposed to work on jboss5 ?

I have just spent a while digging around in the build trying to find which JBoss server instance it's trying to deploy to. Having found it's just a hard coded path to the default instance It occurs to me that it would be helpful to make this a property and refer to it in the sample build properties.

My seam application (Seam 2.0 Production jboss-seam-2.0.2.SP1) runs fine on Jboss but anytime i decide to use the JSF Jar files instead of the one that comes with Jboss by adding this entry to the web.xml

<context-param>
     <param-name>org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL</param-name>
     <param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

I always get this exception
