Exception raised while session expires, or restarting the we

[bhanu.sistla]

Hi All

Currently i am using weblogic and RichFaces. I am facing some issues, It has to do with session failure/unavailable issue in the UI. Currently, if the session times out or the server goes down, if you click on anything in the UI you get one of the following errors on the server console. If click was supposed to go to a new page, like when you click logout you see the same exception on the browser. I haven't been able to solve this issue. Can you look into it and see what we can do here. This will certainly help you understand the architecture behind JSF and how it works.
