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();
