Also, I have some strange behavior. It looks like the phase listener methods are being called twice. Here is a dump of my log:
did you define your faces-config.xml inside of the web.xml? faces-config.xml is the *default* name. MyFaces parses that file 2times, when you specifiy faces-config.xml in web.xml. If you name it "myfaces-config.xml" (for instance), all should be fine -Matthias
