      lfryc pointed out the following solution for client-side error handling in the RichFaces 3 guide:

      A4J.AJAX.onExpired = function(loc, expiredMsg){
    if(window.confirm("Custom onExpired handler "+expiredMsg+" for a location: "+loc)){
      return loc;
    } else {
     return false;
    }
}

      CAUSE
      if session time-out happens and an application uses redirection to error page catching ViewExpiredException, succesive ajax action doesn't take the Faces message about session expiration.
      CONSEQUENCE
      User won't know about expired session from Error page content.
      FIX
      Add the javascript handler to your error page provided in Workaround field.
      RESULT
      Error page should show the Faces message correctly.

    Description

      The following exception handler is defined in the pages.xml: 

       
    <exception class="javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException">
        <redirect view-id="/error.xhtml">
            <message severity="warn">Your session has timed out, please try again</message>
        </redirect>
    </exception>

      Then seam handles javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException and redirects to the error.xhtml after a session timeout happens.

      The page redirection works fine. And the faces message "Your session has timed out, please try again" is shown correctly when ViewExpiredException is triggered by normal http request like <h:commandButton>.

      But the faces message is not displayed when ViewExpiredException is triggered by ajax request like <a4j:commandButton>.
