This parse error is generated when the authenticator.authenticate action returns true. I don't know what seam is doing to get to this point. <h:commandButton id="login" action="#{identity.login}" value="Account Login"/> this returns true so this should be executed <page view-id="/home.xhtml"> <redirect view-id="/main.xhtml"/> but all I get is XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: http://localhost:8080/SeamGlassFishBooking-war/main.seam?cid=6 Line Number 75, Column 9:<!DOCTYPE div PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" > --------^ View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4067269#...
