IllegalArgumentException when injecting a seam component - seam2

Question

I am trying to migrate an application which uses seam 2.1.2, from JBoss 5.2 to JBoss 6.4 EAP. I added all the seam dependent libraries as maven dependencies and now I have the application deploying without any errors and the seam context seems to be created successfully (and some of the flows are working as expected).
I stumbled upon an issue and I hope that someone can help with an advise.
My EAR has the following structure:
myapp.ear
|
|--- warpck.war
|
|--- ejb.jar
|
|--- client1.jar
|
|--- client2.jar
|
|--- commons.jar
|
|--- loggers.jar
In the client1.jar I have the following java bean defined:
#Name(CustomClient.NAME)
#AutoCreate
public class CustomClientImpl implements CustomClient {
...
}
The CustomClient interface looks like this:
public interface CustomClient extends GeneratedSoapClients {
String NAME = "customClient";
}
During the deployment I have the following log:
09:14:44,574 INFO [org.jboss.seam.Component] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 81) Component: customClient, scope: EVENT, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: myapp.client.impl.CustomClientImpl
...so I assume that the component is registered correctly in the seam context.
The problem is when I try to inject this component into one of the classes form the ejb.jar package. I get the following error:
09:14:49,319 ERROR [org.jboss.as.ejb3.invocation] (http-/127.0.0.1:8080-1) JBAS014134: EJB Invocation failed on component CustomAdapterWs for method public myapp.webservice.v5.CustomResponse myapp.webservice.impl.CustomAdapterWs.customInformation(myapp.webservice.v5.CustomInformation): javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: could not set field value: CustomAdapterController.customClient

The CustomAdapterController:

public class CustomAdapterController {

private CustomClient customClient;
The javassist dependency that I use (it's added in the EAR pom):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.javassist</groupId>
<artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
<version>3.20.0-GA</version>
</dependency>
The jboss-deployment-structure.xml:

</dependencies>
</sub-deployment>
<sub-deployment name="ejb.jar">
<dependencies>
<module name="client1.jar"/>
</dependencies>
</sub-deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
All the components that are defined in the ejb.jar are injected correctly. The issue appears each time I try to inject a bean which is defined in a differenect package. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here?

Answer 1

you can't unless you use this version of seam
Seam 2.2.3
and this is jboss-deployment-structure.xml
