Hi.

I am using RF 4.1 final and Mojarra 2.1.7.

I have the following scenario:

1. User connects to the site.

2. Session expires (user connetion problem, server restart, etc.)

3. User doesn't change the page (a4j:poll JS is still working)

4. After user reconnects the web page is not refreshed by a4j:poll and I get the following exception:

I couldn't find information on the subject but I guess it is a common problem and there should be a solution (I hope).
