Thanks Pete for your time and effort. I ended up doing this and it seems to be working fine - I'll move on for now | Contexts.getSessionContext().set("loggedIn", true); | Contexts.getSessionContext().set("greeter", greeter); | Contexts.getSessionContext().set("user",user); | | response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("/Clooster/main.seam")); | Page renders the proper welcome etc. So far so good. Thanks again. PVM View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3995672#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
