Seam security - identity login never gets invoked
I've followed Seam Security Reference (also Seam in Action), step by step, however I'm stuck with this rather bizzare problem the whole day. the action #{identity.login} never gets invoked from the login page. However changing it to #{authenticator.authenticat} works.

public class AuthenticatorAction
{
@In
private EntityManager entityManager;
public boolean authenticate()
{
try {
entityManager.createQuery("from User where username = :username ")
.setParameter("username", Identity.instance().getUsername()).getSingleResult();
}
catch (NoResultException ex) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
}

It says, Seam security should work out of the box, well not in my case. Pl suggest if I'm missing something trivial ...
