    pageflow has not yet started in middle of pageflow when exception thrown

    scphantm.scphantm.gmail.com

      my app has to work in an environment where the seam servers connection to its transaction processing server is spotty at best.


      here is the problem im having, if a connection exception is thrown starting the conversation, the exception handling system picks it up correctly and routs them to the error page just fine.  BUT, as you run thru the pageflow, there are several calls to the backend server.  if an exception is thrown on one of those, nothing happens.  so i put this in the pageflow




      <transition name="continue" to="cbd_pri_app2" >
                     <action expression="#{menuBackingEJB.checkZipLoaded('pri1')}" />
                </transition>



      now that method makes sure that the zip code transaction was run and it successfully returned data (initially fired by a valuechangelistener) now, if that method in the transition throws an exception, the app gets locked in a redirect loop and i eventually get a redirect loop error at the browser.  my log file looks like this


      Caused by: org.jbpm.jpdl.el.ELException: Error evaluating ${menuBackingEJB.checkZipLoaded('pri1')}; possible causes are logged at debug level

      obviously the pageflow is started because im in the middle of it at the time this is fired.  why does this work when im starting the conversation but it doesn't work when im in the middle of it?
