For logout, rather than calling identity.logout(), call your own method that either call's Identity.instance().logout(), or calls Seam.invalidateSession() - which at the moment is basically all identity.logout() does. For expiring sessions, presumably you already have a session scoped stateful component, i'd annotate a method in it with @Destroy (you'll already have one of these if you're using SFSBs) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4015501#...
