Exception handling in pages.xml ignores EL expressions ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-2930 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2930 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Framework Affects Versions: 2.0.1.GA Environment: JBOSS 4.2.2, Windows XP Reporter: Wolfgang Chico Toepfer When I try to catch and handle an exception by means of the exception tag in pages.xml, the exception is not properly handled because the EL expression is not resolved. <exception class="de.pta.exception.ValidationException"> <redirect view-id="#{emrNavigationManager.currentViewId}" /> </exception> The same problem also occurs with the annotation alternative: @Redirect(viewId="#{emrNavigationManager.currentViewId}") public class ValidationException extends RuntimeException { public ValidationException(String message) { super(message); } } Here's the log: 13:07:25,229 ERROR [[Faces Servlet]] Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.seam.mock.MockViewHandler.getActionURL(MockViewHandler.java:41) at org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamViewHandler.getActionURL(SeamViewHandler.java:74) at org.jboss.seam.faces.FacesManager.redirect(FacesManager.java:154) at org.jboss.seam.faces.Navigator.redirect(Navigator.java:46) at org.jboss.seam.exception.RedirectHandler.handle(RedirectHandler.java:51) at org.jboss.seam.exception.Exceptions.handle(Exceptions.java:75) at org.jboss.seam.web.ExceptionFilter.endWebRequestAfterException(ExceptionFilter.java:114) at org.jboss.seam.web.ExceptionFilter.doFilter(ExceptionFilter.java:70) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter$FilterChainImpl.doFilter(SeamFilter.java:69) at org.jboss.seam.web.RedirectFilter.doFilter(RedirectFilter.java:45) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter$FilterChainImpl.doFilter(SeamFilter.java:69) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter.doFilter(SeamFilter.java:158) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.webapp.TrinidadFilterImpl._invokeDoFilter(TrinidadFilterImpl.java:241) at org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.webapp.TrinidadFilterImpl._doFilterImpl(TrinidadFilterImpl.java:198) at org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.webapp.TrinidadFilterImpl.doFilter(TrinidadFilterImpl.java:141) at org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.webapp.TrinidadFilter.doFilter(TrinidadFilter.java:92) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at de.pta.servlet.HttpSessionTimeoutFilter.doFilter(HttpSessionTimeoutFilter.java:67) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:230) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:175) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:179) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:433) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:84) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:128) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:104) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:157) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:241) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:844) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:580) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
