I added the exception handling as suggested, but still have the same problem. I can see that if I am not logged in I get a NotLoggedInException, and if logged in I get an Authorization exception. I am not redirected, there is no error page being shown, the exception is simply swallowed by AbstractSeamFaceListener (it says so in the console output). Oh, and the page I am trying to protect is still rendered. Could there be something else that is wrong? When I do a build clean of the project I sometimes see that it was impossible to remove certain files. Security and drools related files most of the time. When this happens I try again (sometimes several times) until the clean build works.
