              seam.jboss.org is a Seam-specific scoped classloader. It acts as
              a way for Seam to disassociate artifacts bundled with the
              application from those that exist within the JBoss application
              server's shared artifacts or JARs (for example, those that
              reside in the default server's lib directory or in JBoss's
              general lib directory). 
              The classloader is referenced in jboss-app.xml for EAR deployment and and in 
              jboss-web.xml for WAR deployment (SiA-2.5.3-p63).

• seam-tutorial-ejb module has wrong naming: seam-tutorial-ejb.ejb. Should be named seam-tutorial-ejb.jar
  
• Resource files should be published from the EAR target folder due to filtering of resource files and generating of application.xml and jboss.app.xml during the Maven generate-sources goal.
  

Rename seam-tutorial-ejb.ejb to seam-tutorial-ejb.jar
Delete src/main/application
Add folder target/seam-tutorial-jbt32-ear-0.1-SNAPSHOT/META-INF

Corrected Deployment Assembly
