[jsr-314-open] Faces continues processes lifecycle even when facesContext.responseComplete() has been called

If the current response has already been completed before RESTORE_VIEW phase (eg, because a PhaseListener called facesContext.responseComplete() beforePhase ), Faces continues to attempt lifecycle processing. I'm thinking that this should be handled by halting lifecycle processing as defined in the API -- Is this a bug or a something we need to discuss? What do you guys think? /** * <p>Signal the JavaServer Faces implementation that the HTTP response * for this request has already been generated (such as an HTTP redirect), * and that the request processing lifecycle should be terminated as soon * as the current phase is completed.</p> * * @throws IllegalStateException if this method is called after * this instance has been released */ public abstract void responseComplete(); Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException at com.sun.faces.context.FacesContextImpl.assertNotReleased(FacesContextImpl.java:639) at com.sun.faces.context.FacesContextImpl.getCurrentPhaseId(FacesContextImpl.java:515) at javax.faces.event.ExceptionQueuedEventContext.<init>(ExceptionQueuedEventContext.java:148) at javax.faces.event.ExceptionQueuedEventContext.<init>(ExceptionQueuedEventContext.java:101) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.Phase.queueException(Phase.java:152) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.Phase.queueException(Phase.java:145) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.Phase.doPhase(Phase.java:105) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RestoreViewPhase.doPhase(RestoreViewPhase.java:110) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.execute(LifecycleImpl.java:118) at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:310) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) -- Lincoln Baxter, III Co-Founder of OcpSoft Author of PrettyFaces URL Rewriting for JSF
