Sure you can do it. 1.- Make sure you are using Seam 1.1.7RC1. 2.- Add an empty property (without value) to your messages.properties for: | org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful | 3.- That's all.

I looked for some of them, but it seems are not mentioned in the doc. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4021643#...
