Sorry for the delayed response... Maybe I'm missing something, but this does not appear to solve the issue I'm having (maybe it is a different issue altogether). The ViewExpiredException occurs during the RESTORE_VIEW phase, but the conversation-required does not appear to be checked by the SeamPhaseListener until after the RESTORE_VIEW phase has executed. Thus, the ViewExpiredException has already been thrown due to the session timeout. I am currently using the Seam exception handling to simply redirect to the appropriate location should a ViewExpiredException occur, but this of course causes an error to be logged (not preferable). Is there something I am missing? If necessary I can provide an example. Thanks again. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4082271#...
