Hi,

we are about migrating our jboss seam application from jboss 4 to jboss 7, and we face a problem on jboss startup with the injection of the entitymanager on jboss seam startup components. This problem happens only when the application is deployed automatically on jboss startup; if we redeploy the ear file without restarting the jboss, the injection of the entitymanager works without any problems and the application works flawlessly (and much faster than jboss 4 ).

The stacktrace is the following and indicates that the entitymangerfactory is looked up before it is bound to the JNDI; as I said before if we redeploy the ear the problem does not appear:

Has anybody ran into a similar issue? Any feedback dearly appreciated.

Kind regards,
