After fighting with WebLogic 9.2 for a while, I was able to get a seam-gen’d app running.

You’re relegated to using JPA/Hibernate because of an outstanding bug BEA and Sun seem to be both pointing fingers at each other over, but it’s not a big deal.  At least for now, all of the persistence in this app is going to be offloaded to services.

I’ll work on writing this up more formally, but here was a running list of issues I had to deal with.  If you need more information, let me know.  I apologize that this is kind of rough, but it’s better than nothing.

  1. Follow steps outlined in reference guide. (http://docs.jboss.com/seam/2.0.2.SP1/reference/en-US/html_single/#weblogic)
  2. Change the build.xml’s jboss.home’s to bea.home’s, and redefine them like so: 
    <property name="deploy.dir" value="${bea.domain.dir}/autodeploy" />
<property name="jboss.deploy.dir" value="${jboss.home}/server/default/deploy" />
  3. Remove the library-ref from weblogic.xml (that you put in following the ref guide).
  4. Remove the Namespace, Schema, and Version definitions for the web-app tag in web.xml – there’s a problem trying to add version 2.5… (https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2247)
  5. Remove JSF/MyFaces deployments from WL domain if there are any (JSF 1.1 libraries conflicting with 1.2)
  6. Add jsf-api.jar, jsf-impl.jar, commons-collections.jar, persistence-api.jar, el-api.jar, el-ri.jar (needed to pull out of seam fisheye) to deployed-jars.list.  You should be seeing Seam trying to start up at this point, IOW, you’re in “whack-a-jar” mode.

One other funky thing — and I’m not sure what error exactly was causing this (probably related to the interceptors and JSF problems causing the deployment to suspend) but WL was causing some locks to occur that I had to clear out of my domain/server/tmp/* and basically “clean” everything out.  It was quite annoying, but things seem to be better now.
