DISCLAIMER: The more "do it yourself" security systems I see in J2EE, the more convinced I become that do-it-yourself security is one of the worst things anyone can do. I won't go over the whole list - it's getting too long, but I HIGHLY recommend using the security system that comes with J2EE. It's almost always more secure (most DIY systems have at least one hole you can drive an articulated lorry through), it costs less to code and maintain, and it's easier to adapt to new environments like SSO and portals.

JSF doesn't link to pages. Bean action processors return navigational info. that the framework uses to link to pages. If the bean on your first page doesn't like the submitted data, it can simply refuse to return the navigational token that causes JSF to display the second page. No need to go around mucking in the guts of arcane service classes or JSF-specific code. It's just a straight Javabean function.

You should use the security constrain in your DD! Let the Servletcontainer do this job!
