After adding login-required in pages.xml styles are no longer loaded.

Question

In a seam-gen generated application I added the login-required attribute, to force a user login. After that the CSS-Styles from richfaces aren't loaded neither in the login page itself nor at the other pages after successful authentication. (The application is unusable)

<page view-id="*" login-required="true">    
    <navigation>
    <rule if-outcome="home">
       <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml" />
    </rule>
   </navigation>
</page>

I returned to the standard settings in components.xml after I faced this issue.

   <drools:rule-base name="securityRules">
      <drools:rule-files>
         <value>/security.drl</value>
      </drools:rule-files>
   </drools:rule-base>

   <security:rule-based-permission-resolver security-rules="#{securityRules}"/>
   <security:identity authenticate-method="#{authenticator.authenticate}" />

Seam Version 2.1.2

Any Ideas what I could do to get the Styles back or an alternative to force the user to login on all pages? Thanks

Answer 1

Your CSS files require login too. Can you add them as exceptions to your current rule that all files require login?

Alternatively you can just protect all html files.

Answer 2

Seam in Action book says

The same page cannot be configured in both the global page descriptor and the fine-grained descriptor. In fact, there can be only be a single page configuration per view ID.

So i think it occurs because some page shares more than one configuration.
