When adding JSF Capabilities the default in the Project Folders dialog box is to leave the "Lib folder" blank and "Add Libraries" unchecked.

It seems odd that adding JSF capabilities does not involve adding libraries. Is this correct?

I tried generating a new project via the wizard.

It was too painful to continue and I don't have time to try it again and report on exactly what occurred.

Then what does it mean to add JSF Capabilities?

Anyhow, I added them and there is no difference in this behavior.

Thanks,

OK, I did get my seam project to build from the JBDS wizard and content assist *does* work in that project. Yay.

There's a lot I still don't get about the project created via the wizard.  I'd like to understand it better.

Should I just contact support and open a new case for that?

It's just confusing to someone who is used to command-line seam-gen.  There are now four projects where there used to be one.  Further confusion for someone who is fairly new to the whole J2EE model.  I'm starting to "get" the delineation between ejb, ear, and web.  And I'm used to deploying my app using  ant either from eclipse or from the command-line.

I'm NOT used to seeing apps listed under the server in the server view and this concept of adding and removing projects from the server confuses me.  I dont' really understand what publishing and synchronising means.  I'm used to simply deploying, exploding, and restarting.

Further confusion caused by my creating 2 projects with the wizard, removing one from the server, and subsequently not finding that one in my browser because I thought I was looking at the other one. :-)

At the moment, the only problem I'm having is that the entities created

I'm currently having this problem described here: https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?p=2393404. I'll figure out how to work around that.

And one other problem -- that is when I try to browse data in my seam-gen generated <Entity>List.seam, I get the same error on each one:

this: new_ond.new_ond.offices offices0_ limit ?

should be this: new_ond.offices offices0_ limit ?

I can probably figure out where the extra new_ond is coming from and anyway if this turns out to be a problem I'll open a new discussion.

I'm going to port the work I've already done in my app to the wizard-generated app and see how that goes.  Content Assist does work in that one!!

Thanks for your help and interest,

Yes, I solved the sql problem.  You should not specify your db name in both your connect string AND in default_catalog.

One or the other.  Mine was defined in both places and hence it showed up twice in the query.
