I only know three phases off the top of my head(updatemodel, invoke application, and render phase), but I would imagine that for all 6 phases in JSF, if a Seam component is accessed and requires an outjection, then the assertion (be it false or true) will be made. action method (via h:commandButton) is part of the invoke application phase. get and set property happens during render phase and update model phases. So all those cases need to be taken to account View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3997702#...
