[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-2924) session dropped by exception handler redirect if using url rewriting

session dropped by exception handler redirect if using url rewriting -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2924 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2924 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Exception Handling Affects Versions: 2.1.0.A1, 2.0.2.CR1 Reporter: Dan Allen Assigned To: Dan Allen Fix For: 2.0.2.CR2, 2.1.0.BETA1 Attachments: JBSEAM-2924-branch_2_0-v1.txt, JBSEAM-2924-trunk-v1.txt Original Estimate: 5 minutes Remaining Estimate: 5 minutes The ExceptionFilter works outside of the JSF FacesContext and therefore must instantiate a MockFacesContext and MockExternalContext to allow JSF messages to be appended and to issue the redirect. However, the ExternalContext does not properly implement the encodeActionURL() method (it merely returns the value passed into the method). Therefore, if url rewriting is active, the session is dropped upon redirect. The ExternalContext needs to delegate to the HttpServletRequest object if present to properly encode the url.
