I'm having trouble using the seam handling mecanism (using seam 1.2.1) : I've added this in pages.xml <exception> | <end-conversation/> | <redirect view-id="/error.xhtml" /> | </exception> I did set <core:init debug="false" jndi-pattern="@jndiPattern@" /> in components.xml and <param-name>facelets.DEVELOPMENT</param-name><param-value>false</param-value> in web.xml If i manually throw an exception in my code, the page just gets reloaded (no redirect) and a face message "Transaction failed" is set .... If I try to create (and the throw) a custom exception like this : @Redirect(viewId="/error.xhtml", end=true) | @ApplicationException(rollback=true) | public class MyException extends RuntimeException { I get the exact same behaviour : no redirect, only the "Transaction failed" faces message. I'm pretty sure the exceptionFilter is on because I have this in my log on application start : anonymous wrote : 10:35:13,297 INFO [SeamFilter] Initializing filter: org.jboss.seam.servlet.multipartFilter | 10:35:13,297 INFO [SeamFilter] Initializing filter: org.jboss.seam.servlet.contextFilter | 10:35:13,297 INFO [SeamFilter] Initializing filter: org.jboss.seam.servlet.exceptionFilter | 10:35:13,297 INFO [SeamFilter] Initializing filter: org.jboss.seam.servlet.redirectFilter Can anyone give me a hint a what could be wrong ?
