What does your faces-config look like? That is where the SeamPhaseListener is defined see here http://docs.jboss.com/seam/1.2.1.GA/reference/en/html_single/#configuration You don't need to define all the separate seam filters either, just SeamFilter. Some of the other stuff like conversation propagation over redirects and the exception filter are defined in components.xml.....see the link and read the whole chapter.
