Hi My application uses the generate-entities to reverse engineer an existing DB schema . I am using the pages generated using seam-gen. I am trying to plug in the authentication and I am wondering what is the correct way to go about it . I did the following in Authenticator.java @Out (scope=Session) User user; and in the authenticate method I set the user object. But the pages generated by seam-gen refer to the UserHome object instead of user. When I try to do a @In (create=true) @Out (Scope=Session) UserHome userHome OR userHome = Component.getInstance("userHome) things do not work . The userHome object if viewed using the debug.seam shows illegalStateException for the Collection objects So should I a) rewrite the pages to refer to user instead of userHome . If that is the case can I use the persist methods of EntityHome or should I write those methods again b) Any other way to solve the problem ? Is there are different approach to authentication Thanks in Advance Regards Hari View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4040306#...
