How to ignore successful login message?

[kjack]

I don't want seam to display a successful login message, since I handle it in myself in the top toolbar.  Also Seam only displays the username ID, I prefer to display their first name.

I traced it to this piece of code in seam:

   @Observer(Identity.EVENT_LOGIN_SUCCESSFUL)
   public void addLoginSuccessfulMessage()
   {
      FacesMessages.instance().addFromResourceBundleOrDefault(
               getLoginSuccessfulMessageSeverity(), 
               getLoginSuccessfulMessageKey(), 
               getLoginSuccessfulMessage(), 
               Identity.instance().getUsername());
   }

   public Severity getLoginSuccessfulMessageSeverity()
   {
      return FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO;
   }

   public String getLoginSuccessfulMessage()
   {
      return "Welcome, #0";
   }

   public String getLoginSuccessfulMessageKey()
   {
      return "org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful";
   }  

Is there any way for me to configure seam to ignore this message from being sent?

You could extend Identity and then override addLoginSuccessfulMessage().

You could also request a feature request...there may already be one in jira.

Good luck!

An alternative is to unset the org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful key in message.properties:

org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful=

You can also customize the message if that suits you better. For example, in our application we have a session scoped component called currentUser which contains the user's name after a successful login:

org.jboss.seam.loginSuccessful=Welcome #{currentUser.firstName}
