Can the SEAM authenticator reside in the ear file lib folder?

Try adding an empty seam. Properties file in your project-commons.jar. This is used as a marker file that tells Seam that there are components inside the archive The problem is that Seam needs to "discover" the components annotated with @Name, among other things.

However, scanning the whole classpath can be very expensive. This is why Seam only scans the archives that have a seam. Properties (or components.

Xml) file.

Thank you that did the trick. – Brian Oct 20 '10 at 16:12.

There is nothing in Seam called @Authenticator You have to create your own authenticator component. Your error message is saying Seam cannot find any such component, so this means you have no component with @Name("authenticator") Here is an example link of how to create an authenticator UPDATE Seems like I was wrong when it came to discovery of components.

Yes, that is what I have (@Name("authenticator") I should have been more precise in my question. I have the annotation syntax correct for identifying the authenticator. If you read my question you will see that I already have the authenticator feature working.It's a question of whether components can reside in the lib directory of an EAR file.

It's only when I place the component in EAR/lib that the authenticator component is no longer found. I would prefer to keep the component in EAR/lib. – Brian Oct 20 '10 at 15:20 Thank you for the update to your answer.

At this point I have seam components processing in the \lib\project-commons. Jar of the EAR file, that are then used/accessed in the project-web.war.Do you want me to post a log or more details? – Brian Oct 20 '10 at 21:20.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
