Well, this should work. Look at the JSF 1.1 API for further details, but here are some things that could be going wrong:
1. FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(String) already called FacesContext.responseComplete(), so you don't need to call FacesContext.renderResponse(), though this shouldn't matter 2. FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(String) needs the absolute URI you are redirecting to. If you provide the wrong URI, I don't know what will happen. If you're still dead set against using FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(String) you could just set up an error page in your web.xml for the exception, though this may not be optimal.
