Error description

  • The MyFaces Implementation of JavaServer Faces (JSF)
    incorrectly determines we are in a Servlet environment
    when it should have determined we were in a Portlet
    environment.  Due to this incorrect determination the
    FlashMap implementation behaves incorrectly and the following
    warning will be logged: "Identifier for execute FlashMap was
    lost on the postback, thus FlashScope information is gone".

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Version    *
    *                  8.0 users of MyFaces JavaServer Faces       *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The following warning message is        *
    *                      logged "Identifier for execute          *
    *                      FlashMap was lost on the postback,      *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    MyFaces incorrectly determines that an application is running
    in a Servlet environment when in fact it is in a Portlet
    environment.  The incorrect determination causes the FlashScope
    information to be lost and a warning message to be logged.
    In a Servlet environment the FlashMap token is stored
    in a cookie whereas in a Portlet environment this token is
    stored in the SessionMap.
