How do I log in to my Seam application without having to be confronted with a login page (without using a JSF page to log in). My current approach is to pass the username and password to a servlet in Seam. This is currently working. Then I would like to be able to use Identity.instance().setUsername(userid); | Identity.instance().setPassword(password); This part is not working. I receive an exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No active session context I have also asked about this problem in this post: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4069335#... Should I take a different approach? Any suggestions are welcomed. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4077486#...
