Ok, I've set the javascript timeout to 30 seconds and I still get a timeout. Its a simple form and the click() is on an h:commandButton with a hard-coded action. Normal use of the webapp takes no more than 2 seconds to navigate.

It appears to lock in the joinAll() call on the first thread - don't really understand this code yet - but working on it.

I tried a simple example and apparently the rich:pickList control is to blame.

This simple form will do it:

<h:form>
 <h:messages styleClass="formError"/>
 <h:panelGrid columns="2">
 <h:outputText value="F1:"/>
 <h:inputText id="f1Input" value="#{backingBean.value}" required="true"/>
 <h:outputText value="F2:"/>
 <rich:pickList id="missionPickList" value="#{backingBean.selected}">
 <f:selectItems value="#{backingBean.items}"/>
 </rich:pickList>
 </h:panelGrid>
 <h:panelGrid style="text-align: center" styleClass="centeredTable">
 <h:panelGroup>
 <h:commandButton id="addButton" value="Add" action="#{backingBean.doAction}"/>
 <rich:spacer width="5"/>
 <h:commandButton id="cancelButton" value="Cancel" immediate="true" action="#{backingBean.doCancel}"/>
 </h:panelGroup>
</h:panelGrid>

</h:form>

Either of the buttons will do it:

 public void testBasicNav() throws MalformedURLException, IOException, SAXException {
 JSFSession jsfSession = new JSFSession("/form.faces");
 JSFClientSession client = jsfSession.getJSFClientSession();
 JSFServerSession server = jsfSession.getJSFServerSession();

 client.click("addButton");
 }

Here is the backingBean:

public class BackingBean {

 public List<SelectItem> getItems() {
 List<SelectItem> list = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
 list.add(new SelectItem("One"));
 list.add(new SelectItem("Two"));
 list.add(new SelectItem("Three"));
 list.add(new SelectItem("Four"));
 list.add(new SelectItem("Five"));
 return list;
 }

 private String value;
 public String getValue() {
 return value;
 }
 public void setValue(String value) {
 this.value = value;
 }

 private List<String> selected = new ArrayList<String>();
 public List<String> getSelected() {
 return selected;
 }
 public void setSelected(List<String> selected) {
 this.selected = selected;
 }

 public String doAction() {
 return null;
 }

 public String doCancel() {
 return null;
 }
}

Ok, I'm not really sure whats going on now. I have another form page that does not contain a picklist, but has an input, a textarea, and a radio. The JTE happens when I attempt to set the first text field w/ setValue(). This field doesn't have any javascript assigned to it as far as I can tell.

Something else I've come across: When attempting to setValue() on a textarea you get the following exception:

com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlTextArea

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlTextArea
at org.jboss.jsfunit.jsfsession.JSFClientSession.setValue(JSFClientSession.java:117)

It appears that the <a4j:poll> control can cause the JTE also, if the polling interval is large.

So you haven't been able to reproduce it with just the picklist?

BTW, Which version of richfaces are you using?

Actually I wasn't expecting any responses until Monday, so thanks. :)
