[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Problem restoring view after timeout

I have upgraded to JSF 1.2 in anticipation of Seam 2.0, but I am having a problem with restoring the view after timeout. This occurs when using a4j:commandLink. I get the exception below and a yes/no popup appears with the text | View state couldn't be restored - reload page ? By adding the following to page.xml, I can catch the error, but the popup still appears. <exception class="java.lang.IllegalArgumentException"> | <redirect view-id="/error.xhtml"> | <message severity="warn">Problem restoring view. Please try again.</message> | </redirect> | </exception> How can I catch this error and redirect without having the popup appear? I am using JBoss 4.2.1, Seam 1.2.1, and JSF 1.2 that comes with JBoss 4.2.1. 13:40:04,593 WARN [lifecycle] executePhase(RESTORE_VIEW 1,com.sun.faces.context.FacesContextImpl@4bbff1) threw exception |
