I've put the following into my web.xml:
<error-page>
<exception-type>javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException</exception-type>
<location>/expiredIndex.jsf</location>
</error-page>
<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type>
<location>/error.jsf</location>
</error-page>
<session-config>
<session-timeout>1</session-timeout>
</session-config>
When I start my app, and wait for 1 minute, if I then attempt to interact with it (JSF 1.2, h:commandButton
) I get the error
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception
javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: viewId:/index.jsf - View /index.jsf could not be restored.

Can someone tell me why it is the javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException
is not being picked up? I'm looking for the most basic expiry setup possible and surely that's all that is necessary in the web descriptor.
Thanks
EDIT
I now have in my web.xml the following:
<filter>
<filter-name>Error</filter-name>
<filter-class>myClient.ErrorFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Error</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<error-page>
<exception-type>javax.servlet.ViewExpiredException</exception-type>
<location>/expiredIndex.jsf</location>
</error-page>
(these entries are the last filter entries in the web.xml) and a new filter with the doFilter method as described in this post. What should be happening now is the rootCause
should unwrap the ViewExpiredException which should thus redirect the user to my expiredIndex
page when the servlet session times out. Instead I get a 500. I can't see what else to I need to do the correct redirect in this situation. Help!
EDIT 2
Error from the 500 is:
javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: viewId:/index.jsf - View /index.jsf could not be restored.

which I guess is the standard one.
