Just a quick thank you note for clearing this up for me... I copy from the provided link: "[...] the behavior of PhaseListener implementations [...] must guarantee that if "beforePhase()" is called, then "afterPhase()" must also be called, regardless of any thrown exceptions. Please see Section 11.3 "PhaseListener" for more specifics." What i usually have is a PhaseListener for handling "special" kinds of requests (like requests for generating Jasper Reports) and a top level Servlet filter for catching any exceptions and redirecting the user to an error page. This functionality is now broken but I suppose an exception handling scheme within my phase listeners will do the trick here (it still feels a bit akward, but i guess it will have to do). Thanks for your time.
