Strange problem with SEAM stateful session bean - seam

Question

I've got a stateful session bean.
#Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
#Name("chuckNorrisBean")
public class ChuckNorrisBean implements Serializable, ChuckNorris
with some function
public void roundHouseKick()
{
...
}
interface
#Local
public interface ChuckNorris
{
public void roundHouseKick()
{
...
}
}
and calling them on a jsf .xhtml page using
#{chuckNorrisBean.roundHouseKick}
which works perfectly fine. However if I add the #Stateful annotation to the bean so it becomes
#Stateful
#Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
#Name("chuckNorrisBean")
public class ChuckNorrisBean implements Serializable, ChuckNorris
and the page will load with exceptions complainig about
Exception during request processing:Caused by javax.servlet.ServletException
with message: "#{chuckNorrisBean.roundHouseKick}: javax.el.MethodNotFoundException:
//localhost/universe/earth.xhtml #41,65 action=
"#{chuckNorrisBean.roundHouseKick}": Method not found:
ChuckNorrisBean:a6gkg-w6das4-g8wmgh0y-1-g8woy0wo-4b.roundHouseKick()"
Any advice on what might've went wrong with my chuckNorrisBean?
The system is built on SEAM/richfaces.
Thanks!
---- Edited to add more info ----
The project is built with maven 2.1 packaged as ear (a single .ear file as target output).
The application server is JBoss.
After more debugging and fiddling, putting
<page view-id="/index.xhtml">
<action execute="#{chuckNorrisBean.roundHouseKick}" />
</page>
in pages.xml seems to do the kicking just fine. I still couldn't figure out why calling it on a page did not work.

Answer 1

That is quite strange.
Have you tried
#{chuckNorrisBean.roundHouseKick()}
instead of
#{chuckNorrisBean.roundHouseKick}
Just to see what happens
