login-required and no-conversation-view-id causing infinite redirect on POST request after session timeout
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-1860
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1860
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.BETA1
            Reporter: Jacob Orshalick


When a page is setup as login-required="true" in pages.xml and a no-conversation-view-id is specified an infinite redirect occurs if the session times out and a POST request is then made by the user. Here is a snippet of my pages.xml configuration: 

<pages login-view-id="/common/login.jsp">
	<!-- Security configuration -->

	<page view-id="*" scheme="http"/>
	
	<page view-id="/administration/*" scheme="http" login-required="true">
		<restrict>#{s:hasRole('Administrator')}</restrict>
	</page>
	
	<page view-id="/status/*" login-required="true" no-conversation-view-id="/status/search.xhtml">
		<restrict>#{s:hasRole('appRole')}</restrict>
	</page>

When accessing a page under /status/* the first access always redirects to login.jsp as expected. The user then logs in and continues working with the application. If the HTTP session is then allowed to timeout, a GET request will behave as expected and redirect to the login.jsp. A POST on the other hand will cause an infinite redirect.  The stacktrace can be found at the forum reference.

If the no-conversation-view-id is removed, the redirect works as expected but or course an error occurs if you return to a page that requires a conversation after logging in.
