In that case what you recommended may not apply. I tried setting my own message as shown below but got my own message and the default message ("Login failed") displayed as error messages. The result tells me that you set the error message only after the authenticate() method returns false. Error messages displayed: * Invalid username or password * Login failed in that order. public boolean authenticate(){ try { user = (TsUsersEntityBean) em.createQuery("from TsUsersEntityBean where userLoginId = :username") .setParameter("username", identity.getUsername()) .getSingleResult(); }catch (NoResultException ex){ FacesMessages.instance().add("Invalid username or password"); return false; } To make the error handling more generic, I am recommending that you have methods that return and set the various messages. Your indentity class might be the appropriate class to add the methods - similar to Identity.addRole(String) method. Hence, one can then set the appropriate message based on your specified key. For example: Identity.setLoginError("org.jboss.seam.loginFailed", "Invalid username or password"); The message set could be in any locale. In your own code(seam code) if the user authenticate method returns false, you can then call Identity.getLoginError("org.jboss.seam.loginFailed"), if it returns null then set it to "Login failed" otherwise use the returned value. Do a similar thing for all the other messages related to authentication (login). Doing so will make your authentication method usable by any locale.
