NonexistentConversationException thrown at restore view or not? --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-489 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-489 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Components: Javadoc and API Affects Versions: 1.2.Final Reporter: Vsevolod Golovanov Fix For: 2.0 .Final The 1.0 spec says in 6.7.4: {quote}If the propagated conversation cannot be restored, the container must associate the request with a new transient conversation and throw an exception of type javax.enterprise.context.NonexistentConversationException from the restore view phase of the JSF lifecycle. The application may handle this exception using the JSF ExceptionHandler.{quote} 1.1 and 1.2 just say: {quote} If the propagated conversation cannot be restored, the container must associate the request with a new transient conversation and throw an exception of type javax.enterprise.context.NonexistentConversationException. {quote} Yet the javadoc of NonexistentConversationException for both 1.1 and 1.2 says: {quote} If the propagated conversation cannot be restored, the container must associate the request with a new transient conversation and throw an exception of type NonexistentConversationException from the restore view phase of the JSF lifecycle. {quote} So is it supposed to be thrown from restore view or not? I assume not. Probably javadoc should be amended. I'm curious about reasoning behind the change. I tried searching for an explanation but didn't find anything.
