This was really helpful, thanks a lot. I've noticed a problem when using Maven 2 however -- if you build with "mvn package", the build fails because it could not resolve: dk.lungogbendsen.seam:SeamExample-packaging:ear:1.0

This seems to be a Maven 2 (Reactor?) problem of not being smart enough to resolve the dependency with one of the just-built sub-modules. I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this with Maven 2? (I know it works if I update to Maven 3, but in some of my environments I'm stuck with Maven 2. And it will work if I do a "mvn install" build -- though I was trying to avoid doing an install for every incremental little change to my project.) So any thoughts on getting this to work with "mvn package" with Maven 2?

Hi Kasper!

Thank you for mentioning all points of Seam-EJB-Maven configuration in one place.
It's really not that easy to figure out such tricky moments like packaging jboss-seam library as ejb.

I allowed myself to improve on your good work and added some persistence unit so one can actually save something to a DB table, and some sot of hot deploy (basic!). More here: http://minibiti.blogspot.com/2010/03/seam-20-and-maven.html

2010-03-01T18:51:55.077+01:00

Must be a Seam and JSF 2.0 issue (not related to the Maven packaging). I haven't tried using Seam and JSF 2.0 together - is it even possible? It seems that a lot of the features of Seam have been implemented in the JSF 2 spec also so I think a mismatch is to be expected.

This sample works well with jsf 1.2. However I can...

This sample works well with jsf 1.2. However I can't setup it using jsf 2.0

I'm getting ConfigurationException: Factory 'javax.faces.application.ApplicationFactory' was not configured properly.

com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: Factory 'javax.faces.application.ApplicationFactory' was not configured properly.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you very much for the clear example. It was very helpful in starting a Seam/Maven project.

We had to make two adjustments to get the example to work:
1. Change sayHello in ejb-hello.xhtml to sayHello() (with the parentheses)
2. Change version of facelets dependency in web/pom.xml from 1.1.11 to 1.1.15.B1 to work with JBoss AS 5

Hi Kasper!
Nice tutorial! I will try to use it to create a new project when i arrive at home.
I agree with you on your comment about "Convention-over-Configuration philosophy". Its a very clean structure and can be improved on demand.
Thank you for the good work!
See you!

I'm not good at Maven, but I think what I'm going to suggest is very easy to do.

It'll be nice if you add some lines to your pom.xml so that an exploded version of the ear can be created (i.e. the war, the ejb jar and jboss-seam.jar are all in exploded format). The reason I need an exploded war is I can change xhtml files and have them effective without re-packaging.

2009-05-05T21:46:00.000+02:00

The point isn't to include all possible feaures - quite the opposite. If you have a minimal but flexible project structure then it's very easy to plug these things in. This is totally in line with the Convention-over-Configuration philosophy of Maven.

The default testing, documentation and site generation are available but you can plug in your own as you like. The point is that a project structure or archetype shouldn't make these decisions for you - the POM's become confusing and you can't figure out the implifications of adding, reconfiguring or removing a maven-plugin to the project.

I disagree that my proposal is only fitting for simple projects - in deed I recommend it as an initial structure for enterprise projects. It's very unintrusive and IMO that's one of the most important things for a project strucure.

Okay for really simple projects, but it's missing some significant features: Testing, Deployment, Documentation and site generation.

Hi Mojavelinux,

Although the booking example of Seam 3 might work nicely I certainly think it has one major drawback - it looks overly complex! The idea of my "recipe" for Maven-based Seam projects is to have a structure that easy to understand and maintain. I've been looking at the POM's of the booking example and I would guess that they are at least 5 times the size of a stripped down project - which is what I advocate for.

Thanks for putting together this sample. The Seam ...

2009-05-02T08:47:00.000+02:00

Thanks for putting together this sample. The Seam project just never got around to doing a nice Maven archetype in Seam 2. Archetypes will be created for Seam 3 (and maybe backported to Seam 2 at some point). You can see a really nice example of an EAR setup in the booking example.
