[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Seam 1.3 Alpha and Basic Authentication

Hello, I'm relatively new to Seam and am trying to want to integrate an application using seam into an existing ear. The other apps in the ear use basic authentication therefore I have been trying to use the AuthenticationFilter in Seam 1.3 Alpha. My components.xml: <components xmlns="http://jboss.com/products/seam/components" | xmlns:core="http://jboss.com/products/seam/core" | xmlns:web="http://jboss.com/products/seam/web" |

java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) I really need to solve this problem, I have tried writing my own filter but have the same problem, how do I get the identity component to be initialised before my filter or the AuthenticationFilter?
