Model update is a JSF lifecycle phase, it has nothing to do with entity persistence.
I've found model update errors often occur when the object it refers to is null, but I would suggest using the debugger to find out more Depending on the setting of hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto in persistence.xml the table will be auto created e.g. <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" /> will result in the database tables being dopped and created according to the EJB3 persistence annotations when the ear is deployed. JBoss limits apache (tomcat, myfaces) to info as otherwise it is *extremely* verbose. You can alter it in JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/log4j.xml View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3954417#3954417 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3954417 Using Tomcat but need to do more?
