Thanks David for your reply, the xml i posted is indeed from the correct file , the correct name is iess-action-servlet.xml not action-servlet.xml.
Additionally, i deployed the file in a different computer but get the same error. My
IDE is Eclipse Ganymede , i even tried Galileo.
I installed jdk 1.6 last friday. Upon starting Jboss on Monday , there was this error condition about port 1099 already being used ,after solving that (by shutting down Jboss and restarting the system), this BeanCreationException took over. This really baffles me.
Thanks for your help.
