Thanks for your response. I managed to sort out the issue. The issue is not with the portal and because of some internal application logic when the session times out. I am not using portlet bridge. The reason why JSF 1.1 is because of the conflict in some commons library (in MYFaces)and the JBoss portal and we couldn't get the JSF 1.2 working View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4178382#...
