Hello, i also had the same idea, giving the page element a view id in my case "/index.xhtml" I tried the code u posted ,but it still has no effect. I am using jboss-seam-1.1.0.GA, the pages.xml is deployed correctly (like in the examples), somewhere i got a log "no events.xml defined" , i hope it has nothing to do with the pages.xml. Thx again , in worst case i still can parse faces-config.xml Bye, Holger View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4005094#...
