Ok, so I've come upon an exception that is starting to frustrate me. Let me set the scene.
I am using Weld, Jboss' implementation of CDI. JPA/Hibernate for persistence. For something different I am giving it a crack on Glassfish 3 which I have not used before. I am using Maven for dependency management.
Anyway, as CDI doesn't have transaction management included out of the box, I decided to use the Seam 3 Persistence module instead of rolling my own. Now, I am well aware that this is only in Alpha at the moment so maybe I am asking for trouble but please bare with me. I'm hoping someone else has seen this and can either help me fix it or at least let me know why I'm getting the problems that I am.
So, before adding the persistence module, everything builds and runs fine. I can open the homepage of the app fine. However, when I add the Seam 3 persistence module to my pom.xml, the application throws an exception when starting up. The only difference between working and not working is the one dependency I am adding to the pom.xml
The dependency I am adding to my pom.xml is:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.seam.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>seam-persistence-impl</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0.Alpha1</version>
</dependency>
I added this dependency based on the instructions at http://seamframework.org/Seam3/PersistenceModule . I'm aware that when clicking on the documentation from this page it mentions a couple of other dependencies but I get the same problem when adding them as well. This is the dependency that I have narrowed the problem down to.
So, after adding the dependency above and starting the server I get the following on startup:

As you can see, there really isn't much to go on.
Have you seen this exception before? Do you have any idea what is causing it? And finally, do you know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance...
