Why does Seam checks for LoginRedirection after ApplyRequest

[dsmith1]

Seam will apply page parameters before it does the checks to see if login redirection is required.

This is problematic for applications rely on session scope information created in authenticator being present
e.g. using @In(scope=SESSION) currentUser;

<page view-id="/secure/browseUsers.xhtml">
 <param name="firstResult" value="#{userBrowseQueryFactory.firstResult}" converterId="javax.faces.Integer" />
</page>

You could workaround the problem with @In(request=false,scope=SESSION) currentUser or call Contexts.getSessionContext().get("currentUser");

My question is why would Seam need to need to apply request parameters if it is going to redirect to login page?
