this is how that bean is configure in faces-config..:

<managed-bean>
        <managed-bean-name>loginBean</managed-bean-name>
        <managed-bean-class>no.havleik.dt.jsf.LoginBean</managed-bean-class>
        <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
    </managed-bean>


And this is the relevant part of jsp that uses that bean..:

<h:panelGrid columns="2" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="3" 
headerClass="login-header">
            <f:facet name="header">
              <h:outputText value="#{bundle.appLoginTitle}"/>
            </f:facet>
            <h:panelGroup/>
            <h:messages globalOnly="true" styleClass="errors"/> <!>
            <h:outputLabel value="Brukernavn:" for="username"></h:outputLabel>
            <h:panelGroup>
              <h:inputText id="username" size="30" maxlength="30" 
required="true" value="#{loginBean.j_username}">
                <f:validateLength minimum="2" maximum="30"/>
              </h:inputText>
              <h:message for="username" styleClass="errors"/>
            </h:panelGroup>
            <h:outputLabel value="Passord:" for="password"></h:outputLabel>
            <h:panelGroup>
              <h:inputSecret id="password" size="30" maxlength="40" 
required="true" value="#{loginBean.j_password}">
                <f:validateLength minimum="2" maximum="40"/>
              </h:inputSecret>
              <h:message for="password" styleClass="errors"/>
            </h:panelGroup>
            <h:panelGroup/>
            <h:commandButton action="#{loginBean.login}" title="Logg inn" 
value="Logg inn"/>
          </h:panelGrid>
        </td>


And if you remove the two myfaces*.jar files and replace them with jsf*.jar it 
works...

Can anyone shed any light?


btw, I am also using tiles but the tiles files is not used until after logon... 
not sure if this info is of any use but...


Regards,

BTJ
