Render mail exception invalidates request

[spoonman]

I have an action #{registration.register} that sends an email to user. Something like this:

public boolean register() {
   try {
      render("registrationemail.xhtml"); //using m:message...
   } catch (Exception e) {
      log.error(e);
      return false;
   }
   return true;
}

I want to redirect it with pages.xml if mail was sent or not:

<page view-id="/register.xhtml">
<navigation from-action="#{registration.register}">
  <rule if-outcome="true">
    <redirect view-id="/welcome.xhtml" />
   </rule>
  <rule if-outcome="false">
    <redirect view-id="/sorry.xhtml" />
  </rule>
</navigation>
</page>

However when render of email fails (e.g. no connection to mailer) request renderer doesn't redirect me anywhere, stops on register.xhtml. It seems like it's 'broken' and stops processing current request. It turns to me that render of an email must succeed, otherwise your 'page renderer' dies? Does anyone know explanation of this?

I have the same problem. Moreover the url of the s:link tags from the page are all prefixed by /project. This comes from org.jboss.seam.mock.MockHttpServletRequest.getContextPath.
The FacesMessage for error is not displayed and page gets stall. It is not rendered correctly.

Why don't you send email asynchronously ? Best via JMS.

I want to show a message to the user if the email sending succeeded or failed. I don't need the complexity of configuring JMS and implementing MDBs.

Implemented the fix suggested by:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3698

Now works fine.
Not sure if the fix is included in the latest release 2.2.0.
