Non-Ajax requests badly handled if ViewExpiredExceptions are managed on client ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: RF-5456 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-5456 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.2 Environment: Tomcat 6 + Facelets + JSF 1.2_09 RI Reporter: Pierre Wargnier If you activate org.ajax4jsf.handleViewExpiredOnClient in web.xml, the ViewExpiredExceptions are catched by the Ajax filter and a Ajax response will create a javascript "confim" window to ask the user to reload the page. If the request that cause the ViewExpiredExceptions is not an AJAX one: only a blank page with the AJAX XML behind. Proposed solution: Handle ViewExpired on client _only_ if request is AJAX. Throw the exception the normal way otherwise. In org.ajax4jsf.webapp.BaseXMLFilter.doXmlFilter(FilterChain, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) instead of log.error("Exception in the filter chain", e); if(handleViewExpiredOnClient && isViewExpired(e)){ do this: if(handleViewExpiredOnClient && isViewExpired(e) && request.getParameterMap().containsKey("AJAXREQUEST")){ log.info("View expired handling sent to client"); //View expired exceptions are quite commons, don't clog the logs tracing them -- 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
