Could not create Component Error
I tried to run a test page which uses the built-in identity class for logging a user in. When I tried to run the application, I recieved an error which included "Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener" and "java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not create Component: org.jboss.seam.security.identity".
The login page is called loginTestPage.xhtml. Its code is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<h2>Login Test: Testing authenticate() and identity Class</h2>
<br />
User Name: <h:inputText id="userName2" value="#{identity.username}"

</h:form>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
The webpage uses the standard AuthenticatorAction class, to which I added the login code and the local interface. The local interface code includes the following:
package com.pmacui;
public interface IAuthenticator
{
public boolean authenticate();
public String logout();
}
The AuthenticatorAction class code includes:

What am I missing? Am I missing something in my Seam configuration? Is there something missing in the code? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
