      Hello,


      I'm trying to use Seam's exception handling to catch an application exception.  My entry in pages.xml is



         <exception class="com.xyx">
      <redirect>
         <message>Exception Occured</message>
      </redirect>
   </exception>




      I expected the message to appear at the top of the page the user was on when submitting the form that caused the exception.


      Seam returns the following stack trace

      According to the 2.0.1 manual I can do this (see section 5.3.5. Some common exceptions, 'If you are using Seam Security:').  Is this a mistake in the manual or am I doing something wrong?


      Cheers,


      Dave
