4.2.7. Debug and Resolve JBoss Seam Debug Page Errors

After you migrate and successfully deploy your application, you may encounter a runtime error that redirects you to the "JBoss Seam Debug" page. The URL for this page is "http://localhost:8080/APPLICATION_CONTEXT/debug.seam". This page allows you to view and inspect the Seam components in any of the Seam contexts associated with your current login session.

The most likely reason you are redirected to this page is because Seam has caught an Exception that was not handled in the application code. The root cause of the exception can be often be found in one of the links on the "JBoss Seam Debug Page".

Procedure 4.11. 

  1. Expand the Component section on the page and look for the org.jboss.seam.caughtException component.
  2. The cause and stacktrace should point you to the missing dependencies.

  3. Use the technique described in Section 4.2.2, “Debug and Resolve ClassNotFoundExceptions and NoClassDefFoundErrors” to resolve module dependencies.
    In the example above, the simplest solution is to add org.slf4j to the MANIFEST.MF
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Dependencies: org.slf4j
    
    Another option is to add a dependency for the module to the jboss-deployment-structure.xml file:
    <jboss-deployment-structure>
       <deployment>
            <dependencies>
              <module name="org.slf4j" />
            </dependencies>
        </deployment>
    </jboss-deployment-structure>
