I have installed the latest SeaSide   I have done a Manual Installation of the most recent Configuration of SeaSide.  And I have installed the latest SeaSide30Addons.  I would like to ask a few questions:

When you say “latest”, which is that? Just to be sure that you did not load incompatible things:
Note that the Seaside-REST package is included in Seaside 3.1 and should not be loaded from the separate ConfigurationOfSeasideRest (which is for Seaside 3.0 only).

You should load the ‘REST’ group from the ConfigurationOfSeaside3, and probably also the ‘JSON’ group:

(ConfigurationOfSeaside3 project version: #’release3.1’) load: #(‘Core’ ‘REST’ ‘JSON’)

Which adaptor are you using? Does the Seaside tool show that it has started? Did you ever see the ‘Welcome to Seaside’ webpage?
I have the impression that Seaside was not started yet or that something else has been wrongly configured.

That does not seem to be correct. There is a ’self’ too much, it should be:	WAAdmin register: self at: ‘weight’
Did you execute this? Mind that a class initialize method is only executed when the class is loaded.

Looks reasonable, but probably you did not add the arguments to the method itself. 
But before we focus on this, let’s get the other issues out of the way and make sure Seaside works.
