Norman Richards commented on JBSEAM-4209:
-----------------------------------------

This also happens when faces is mapped to a pattern like /seam and not to *.seam.

> StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in RedirectHandler
> This exception is thrown if ViewExpiredException is thown and I'm hndling this with a redirect back to the same page: i.e. my exception config looks like:
> {code}
> <exception class="javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException">
> 	<redirect />
> </exception>
> {code}
> AND I am using the <web:rewrite-filter /> to rewrite the URLs. 
> The code in RedirectHandler assumes that the request servlet path will contain a URL that matches up to one of the view by changing the file extension. This is not always the case. In this case the RewriteFilter is intercepting the path, which does not contain a .seam extension.
> The following exception is thrown:
> {code}
> java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1

> It looks like the RewriteFilter process() method does have some commented out code to wrap the request so that the call to getServletPath() would return the rewritten URL (i.e. something that could be converted to a view id by the RedirectHandler). I assume that the wrapped request was commented out to resolve some other issue.
