View /page.jsf could not be restored [duplicate]

Question

I have problem which I cannot solve. When I refresh opened JSF page after the page is idle for example 10 minutes I get this error message:

serverError: class javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException viewId:/page.jsf - View /page.jsf could not be restored.

How I can increase the JSF View time?

Answer 1

You can set your session timeout parameter to 45 minute in web.xml like this

<session-config> 
   <session-timeout>45</session-timeout> 
</session-config>

also you can easily handle this exception in a seperate page by adding following code to your web.xml

<error-page>
    <exception-type>javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException</exception-type>
    <location>/exception/sessionexpired.xhtml</location>
</error-page>
