looks like that ajax4jsf's view handler specified in web xml takes precedence: | <context-param> | <param-name>org.ajax4jsf.VIEW_HANDLERS</param-name> | <param-value>org.jboss.seam.ui.facelet.SeamFaceletViewHandler</param-value> | </context-param> | but even when seam handler is specified in faces-config only it's constructor is being called, so the object is created but never accessed. wbr, eugen.
