If you need to create a link with the actual location in it you can use #{request.contextPath}. here an example: <a href=”#{request.contextPath}/some/dir/test.jsf”>GO</a>

If you want log4j-style logging under a JBoss AS7 project, just include the seam solder jar which abstracts the log4j-logger and use the org.jboss.logging.Logger as log-provider. For maven: <dependency> <groupId>org.jboss.seam.solder</groupId> <artifactId>seam-solder</artifactId> <version>3.0.0.Final</version> </dependency> And if you want to use all loglevels you can change your loglevel in your standalone.xml file by changing the subsystem. I

If you want to create Soap WebServices you first have to extend your standalone.xml file. Add the module and it’s configuration: … <extensions> … <extension module=”org.jboss.as.webservices”/> … </extensions> … <profile> … <subsystem xmlns=”urn:jboss:domain:webservices:1.0″ xmlns:javaee=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee” xmlns:jaxwsconfig=”urn:jboss:jbossws-jaxws-config:4.0″> <wsdl-host> localhost </wsdl-host> <modify-wsdl-address> true </modify-wsdl-address> <endpoint-config> <jaxwsconfig:config-name> Standard-Endpoint-Config </jaxwsconfig:config-name> </endpoint-config> <endpoint-config> <jaxwsconfig:config-name> Recording-Endpoint-Config </jaxwsconfig:config-name> <jaxwsconfig:pre-handler-chains> <javaee:handler-chain> <javaee:protocol-bindings> ##SOAP11_HTTP ##SOAP11_HTTP_MTOM

First add a postgresql module to your modules folder as described in my former post. Then open standalone.xml and insert a datasource and the postgresql driver. Search for subsystem xmlns=”urn:jboss:domain:datasources:1.0″ and insert the datasource. <datasource jndi-name=”java:jboss/datasources/TestDS” pool-name=”TESTDS” enabled=”true” jta=”true” use-java-context=”true” use-ccm=”true”> <connection-url> jdbc:postgresql:test </connection-url> <driver> org.postgresql </driver> <pool> <min-pool-size> 5 </min-pool-size> <max-pool-size> 25 </max-pool-size> <prefill>

Just download the latest jdbc4 driver and place it into JBOSS_HOME/modules/org/postgresql/main. Then create a file module.xml in the same folder with the following content (replace filename if necessary): <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <module xmlns=”urn:jboss:module:1.0″ name=”org.postgresql”> <resources> <resource-root path=”postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar”/> </resources> <dependencies> <module name=”javax.api”/> <module name=”javax.transaction.api”/> </dependencies> </module>
