keep getting javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: viewId with jsf 2

Question

Whatever I do I get javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: viewId. I know how to handle the exception (redirect to the main page again if I get the error), the issue is that any action I call from a commandButton is not executed.

Basically I have a simple view with a commandButton with an action.. I press it and I get the viewExpiredException or if I handle the error, I don't get the error messages but still my commandButton does not work.

I tried adding this:

 <context-param>
     <param-name>javax.faces.PARTIAL_STATE_SAVING</param-name>
     <param-value>client</param-value>
 </context-param>

but it doesn't work. I don't know what is going on..

This is my view:

What I need is to know why this is happening, not how to handle the exception.. I can't call any action from a commandButton because nothing happens.

your first `commandButton` has no `action` attribute, so this one for sure won't call your backing bean. The other one should though. Actually it did on my local working example... Do you have any error message (either browser or java console)? — Valentin Jacquemin, Oct 15 '13 at 14:00
i know my first commandButton does not have an action.. is just there lol... and i'll post my full error message now. — user2846482, Oct 15 '13 at 14:15

I solved it with this:

 <context-param>
     <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
     <param-value>client</param-value>
 </context-param>

In some places I saw it like this javax.faces.PARTIAL_STATE_SAVING but it did not work.

Is there any security implications in saving the state on the client? – jrobertsz66 Aug 28 '14 at 01:35
@jrobertsz66 if you can make sense of very long hashed and encoded (and possibly encrypted) strings in your html containing the view state that'd otherwise be maintained on the server, you could in theory modify them and send other data to the server. Good luck :) – jwenting Jun 08 '15 at 15:49
