Hi, I have the problem that my facesMessages get lost when handling org.jboss.seam.web.FileUploadException. I have this in pages.xml: <exception class="org.jboss.seam.web.FileUploadException"> | <redirect view-id="/welcome.xhtml"> | <message severity="ERROR"> | File is too big. | </message> | </redirect> | </exception> When I raise a FileUploadException from my application code the exception gets handled as expected and the correct faces message is displayed. When Seam generates the exception in the MultipartFilter, welcome.xhtml is invoked, but the message is lost. After some debugging I think I found the cause of the problem: in this case the faces message is generated in a different conversation, and even in a different session (!) than the current user conversation/session. So the FacesMessages object which contains the correct message is not available any more in welcome.xhtml. Is there an easy workaround for this issue? Currently I have no other idea than not using message at all, but to redirect to a specific error page that knows that it was a FileUploadException.
