I've checked in a change to /icefaces/resources/WEB-INF/web.xml to take the application out of Seam debug mode. This was causing Seam code to remove the Pages object out of the application scope after each request as part of the HotDeployFilter execution. This caused great slowdowns in the execution of the requests.

Sending web.xml
Committed revision 14613.

latest changes to seam-gen sent to Michael Yuan to update seam cvs :-

1) the build-scripts should no longer have any reference to the version of
the jars and the icefaces/build-scripts still have reference to the version
of the testNG.jar. This should be remedied. Do you want me to make the
changes and send you the files, or do you want to just make them there?

2) TimerBeanImpl no longer uses the Timer Bean interface as it is no longer
stateful (I should have mentioned this to you earlier as this change was
made a few weeks ago) so TimerBean.java can be removed from the distribution

3) The .classpath for Eclipse has been changed and now is missing reference
to commons-logging. Also, jsf-facelets.jar reference should be removed from
this file.

4)File icefaces\list.xhtml (line 28)

<ice:dataTable id="@listName@TableId" var="@componentName@"
should be
<ice:dataTable id="listName@TableId" var="@componentName@"

5)File theme.css add the following:-

.iceSelInpDate

error when adding in ID's to templates for selenium testing:-
for list.xhtml (used for target "new-entity"):-

line 26 should be :-
<h:outputText id="list@componentName@ExistsId"
value="No @componentName@ exists"

Seam 2.0.0 (starting with CR1) now has the integrated icefaces templates and config files with seam-gen.
