                 Key: JBSEAM-2439
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2439
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA
         Environment: JBoss 4.20 GA/ JBoss 4.22 GA, OSX 10.5.1, JRE 1.5.0_13
            Reporter: Fijai Cairo


Exception redirections rules in pages.xml to error pages that reside anywhere besides the web root always yield a 404 page. 

This rule in pages.xml works. When the exception is raised, the user is redirected to the correct error page
<exception class="com.myApp.exception.GatewayException">
        <redirect view-id="/gatewayerror.xhtml">
            <message>GatewayException.</message>
        </redirect>
</exception>

This rule doesn't work. I have the error file in a directory named "errors". When the exception is raised, the user is directed to a 404 page even though the Url reflects the right path.
<exception class="com.myApp.exception.GatewayException">
        <redirect view-id="/errors/gatewayerror.xhtml">
            <message>GatewayException.</message>
        </redirect>
</exception>
