it is now resolved. thank you very much for the help, and my apologies I was asking for problem that didnt' exist. the problem occurred, due to JBDev not updating classes; becase after updating seam some dependency jar was missing. though something useful that came out of this: Events like "org.jboss.seam.loggedOut" will be replaced with to "org.jboss.seam.security.loggedOut" from next major release. 2.0.0CR1 currently supports both types. Now you could also use events like @Observer(Identity.EVENT_LOGGED_OUT). View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4122487#...
