How NOT to log an exception in the log file

[amitev]

Hi all. I have the following in my pages.xml

     <exception class="javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException" log-level="debug" log="false">
          <redirect view-id="/common/error.xhtml">
               <message>#{messages.sessionTimeout}</message>
          </redirect>
     </exception>

Seam redirects to the error page, but why does it print the stacktrace in the console?

P.S. I have set the debug to false in components.xml

I have the same problem, keep getting this:

2009-10-03 13:38:18,807 WARN  [org.jboss.seam.web.ExceptionFilter] handling uncaught exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: viewId:/home.seam - View /home.seam could not be restored.
   at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:270)
   at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290)
   at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206)

even if I have:

<exception class="javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException" log="false">
      <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml">
         <message>
            Your session has timed out, please login again!
         </message>
      </redirect>
   </exception>

in my code, did you manage to solve the problem?

Thanks

May be is a log4j issue. Did you check jboss-log4j.xml or equivalent?

In SEAM framework "It Just Don't Work" is normal. Get used to it. I know one workaround, if you use JBoss 5.x:

Edit file <JBOSS_HOME>\server\your_project\conf\jboss-log4j.xml and add these lines somewhere inside <log4j:configuration>  at end:

<!-- Suppress ViewExpiredException spam. Hopefully it will not hide other potentially important page errors. -->
