I wish to know that if all the configurations I'd done is correct? If you need any of the configuration file please ask for it. Thanks. I am new to this kind of question. :)
Hi , the problem I encountered s something like: when the Spring bean is initializing and it start to inject seam component into it, but the seam component isn't there during server startup and I got the java.lang.IllegalStateException: No application context active .
Error logs and configurations are provided below:

Thanks for every precious comment! Perhaps I m not doing it in the correct way. 
Thank you
I can't see where your applicationContext is initialized. In a spring webapp I added
<listener>
   <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
to web.xml which loads WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml.
I'm not sure whether this is recommended/required with seam integration.
                oou thanks for your comment.. I m quite new to Spring actually. I ll do what I can to test your suggestion out.
