Exception raised while session expires or server restarted and accessing the page throws exception -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-7491 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7491 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Environment: Windows 2003 and server :- Weblogic 10.1 Reporter: bhanu sistla Priority: Critical Exception has raised while session has expired. Here are the details . looks like it has to do with session failure/unavailable issue in the UI. Currently, if the session times out or the server goes down, if you click on anything in the UI you get one of the following errors on the server console. If click was supposed to go to a new page, like when you click logout you see the same exception on the browser. I haven't been able to solve this issue. Can you look into it and see what we can do here. This will certainly help you understand the architecture behind JSF and how it works. #1 Exception in the filter chain javax.servlet.ServletException: viewId:/home.jsf - View /home.jsf could not be restored. at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:270) at weblogic.servlet.internal.StubSecurityHelper$ServletServiceAction.run(StubSecurityHelper.java:227) at weblogic.servlet.internal.StubSecurityHelper.invokeServlet(StubSecurityHelper.java:125) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.execute(ServletStubImpl.java:292) at weblogic.servlet.internal.TailFilter.doFilter(TailFilter.java:26) at weblogic.servlet.internal.FilterChainImpl.doFilter(FilterChainImpl.java:42) at org.ajax4jsf.webapp.BaseXMLFilter.doXmlFilter(BaseXMLFilter.java:178) at org.ajax4jsf.webapp.BaseFilter.handleRequest(BaseFilter.java:290) at org.ajax4jsf.webapp.BaseFilter.processUploadsAndHandleRequest(BaseFilter.java:368) at org.ajax4jsf.webapp.BaseFilter.doFilter(BaseFilter.java:495) at weblogic.servlet.internal.FilterChainImpl.doFilter(FilterChainImpl.java:42) at weblogic.servlet.internal.RequestEventsFilter.doFilter(RequestEventsFilter.java:27) at weblogic.servlet.internal.FilterChainImpl.doFilter(FilterChainImpl.java:42) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext$ServletInvocationAction.run(WebAppServletContext.java:3496) at weblogic.security.acl.internal.AuthenticatedSubject.doAs(AuthenticatedSubject.java:321) at weblogic.security.service.SecurityManager.runAs(Unknown Source) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.securedExecute(WebAppServletContext.java:2180) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.execute(WebAppServletContext.java:2086) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletRequestImpl.run(ServletRequestImpl.java:1406) at weblogic.work.ExecuteThread.execute(ExecuteThread.java:201) at weblogic.work.ExecuteThread.run(ExecuteThread.java:173) Caused by: javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: viewId:/home.jsf - View /home.jsf could not be restored. at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RestoreViewPhase.execute(RestoreViewPhase.java:186) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.Phase.doPhase(Phase.java:100) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RestoreViewPhase.doPhase(RestoreViewPhase.java:104) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.execute(LifecycleImpl.java:118) at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:265) ... 20 more here is the web.xml configuration <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"> <context-param> <param-name>org.ajax4jsf.SKIN</param-name> <param-value>laguna</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name> <param-value>client</param-value> </context-param> ------ <error-page> <exception-type>javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException</exception-type> <location>/logon.jsp</location> </error-page> </web-app> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
