I have looked a bit at the FacesMessages.java. I think I understand why I loose my messages when I have @End(beforeRedirect=true). facesMessages is conversation scoped: @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) | @Name("facesMessages") | @Intercept(NEVER) | public class FacesMessages implements Serializable | { I assume it gets destroyed as part of the conversation end, with the resulting loss of the messages before it could be rendered. Am I correct? Is there a way around it ? Thanks L View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985512#...
