The behaviour for pages.xml have changed in 1.2.0 ! Because if I remove pages.xml everything will work out just fine. pages.xml: | <!DOCTYPE pages PUBLIC "-//JBoss/Seam Pages Configuration DTD 1.1//EN" "http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages-1.1.dtd"> | | <pages> | <page view-id="/xhtml/account/create/agreement.jspx" action="#{accountBean.begin}"/> | <page view-id="/xhtml/account/create/create.jspx" action="#{accountBean.validatePageRequest}"/> | <page view-id="/xhtml/account/create/welcome.jspx" action="#{accountBean.validatePageRequest}"/> | </pages> | Something in pages.xml triggers the above problem (for each method call Seam creates a new instance of userDomain).
