You'd think the pages.xml setting would take precendence, ie, if I define this: <exception class="org.jboss.seam.security.NotLoggedInException"> | <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml"> | <message>Please log in</message> | </redirect> | </exception> The message should be changed to "Please log in". Otherwise, what's the point of defining the message in pages.xml? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4107617#...
