This webpage has a redirect loop error after opened any page of seam application in jboss AS 7.1

Question

My project is using seam 2.2.2 Final, and the application server is Jboss 7.1. After a long deployment process, finally I can deploy it successfully. But when I attempt to open it in the browser, I get error like this:

"This webpage has a redirect loop

The webpage at "http://localhost:8080/integration/debug.seam?cid=2" has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer." .

How can I solve this problem?

This is my web.xml

This is my persistence.xml. I think configuration of persistence.xml is correct.

Answer 1

Use solution 1 https://community.jboss.org/thread/206184

I resolved this issue copying the debug.xhtml from jboss-seam-debug.jar to root web src path.

Use solution 2 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-4864

moving of META-INF/debug.xhtml to META-INF/resources/debug.xhtml should help to solve the exception. Fixed it in jboss-seam-debug.jar 2.3.0

Answer 2

This problem caused by lack of jsf-facelet dependency. to solved that adding the following code to your pom.xml

 <dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.facelets</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsf-facelets</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.15</version>
</dependency>
