JBoss Tools and JBoss AS 5

Well, for some reason the JBoss Tools Team refuses to add easy Seam support for JBoss 5.

If you create a new Seam war project with JBoss 5, you get many weird errors.

Some suggest to add all entities to persistence.xml....

http://seamframework.org/Documentation/RunningSeamExamplesWithJBossApplicationServer5
and
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-3821

But the real soultion is this:

add the following line to persistence.xml:
<property name="jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name" value="java:/myEntityManagerFactory">

remove the following lines in components.xml:

<persistence:entity-manager-factory name="entityManagerFactory"
persistence-unit-name="MYPU"/>

<persistence:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager" auto-create="true"
entity-manager-factory="#{entityManagerFactory}"/>

add the following line:

<persistence:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager" auto-create="true"
entity-manager-factory="#{entityManagerFactory}"
persistence-unit-jndi-name="java:/myEntityManagerFactory"/>

Also hot depoly doesn't work anymore with JBoss 5 AS if you start it normally.
Try to start JBoss AS 5 in debug mode, then hot deploy should work again.
Don't know why though...

Happy Coding all !
