Gavin, thank you again form your help but I still am in the mess ! anonymous wrote : | If you are calling this method as a value expression during the render phase of the JSF lifecycle, its not going to work. What you need to do is understand the JSF and servlet specs: | | There is no way I can send a redirect after I have already started to render the response. So Seam doesn't try to do that. | OK, I was trying to do a stupid think. anonymous wrote : | This is described in the documentation, of course | Seam documentation ? Where ? I am going trough it back and forth ... Since, I can't check roles annotating a method called during the rendering phase, I have to make security check at page level works. I wonder why this doesn't work | <page view-id="/test3.xhtml" login-required="true" > | <restrict>#{s:hasRole('Administrator')}</restrict> | </page> | The check should be performed before starting the response rendering. Moreover I get it from the Seam documentation. anonymous wrote : | What you can do, however is send a http error. So it makes sense to have *two* exception handlers, one just for the redirect phase. | I can't understand what you mean, can you please provide a code fragment ? Regards Fab.
