I'm afraid that I've only had to deal with this on JSF 2, I suspect this solution is applicable only
to JSF 2:

Thanks Brendan for the reply.

But my application is already defined the below code in web.xml

     <error-page>
        <exception-type>javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException</exception-type>
        <location>/viewExpired.xhtml</location>
    </error-page>

But when the view expired, the "viewExpired.xhtml" page doesn't load at all. Instead its redirected to login page bydefault when view expired.

Please find the below code for viewExpired.xhtml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
            "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
          xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
          xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
          xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">

     <h:head>
        <title>
           View Expired  
       </title>
    </h:head>

   <h:body>
          <h:form>
            A ViewExpiredException was detected.
            <h:outputLink value="/login.jsf">Click here to return to the start page.</h:outputLink>
        </h:form>
     </h:body>
</html>

Can you please let me know how could this solves the issue? i am facing this since long time and doesn't find any exact solution. I did a lot of goggling and R & D on this.

The problem is that I only ever had limited experience with JSF 1 and I've forgotten most of it! It is well
understood that with JSF 2 the approach you describe in your post will not work for ViewExpiredException,
and it is necessary to implement a custom exception handler (as per Ed Burn's blog post).

I strongly suspect that the APIs described in this solution don't exist in JSF 1, and I've no idea what you
need to do I'm afraid. I would ask the question on stackoverflow if I was you, I couldn't find anything on
google when I looked.

Good luck finding a solution,
Brendan.

Hi Kapil,

I'm facing the same problem and use almost the same approach. When ViewExpiredException occurs I automatically redirect the user to the main page via <c:redirect url="/"/>
