Hello all-

I'm charged with developing an application that authenticates users using an 
external, already existing web-based sso authentication application and (being 
new to Seam) I'm not quite sure how to proceed.

The way I *envision* my app working is that before every page render, an 
authentication method ( pointed to in components.xml) checks for the presence 
of a cookie(this represents an active user session).  If the cookie isn't there 
(or is invalid), the authentication method redirects to the external web app 
(where the user provides their u/p).  After the the user authenticates against 
the external sso system, that system redirects back to my app.  Upon 
redirection, the authentication method is called again and this time passes and 
outjects an application "user" object.

Is this a sound way to accomplish my goal? And how do I trigger this 
authentication method before every page render/page request?
