JSF 2.0 - Richfaces ViewExpiredException - spring

Question

Sometimes, when I interact with some component of richfaces (eg: clicking a a4j:commandbutton) I get an exception of type ViewExpiredException. If I make an interaction during ajax requests (eg: while the screen is loading) the error ALWAYS happens.
Ps 1: the server was not restarted
Ps 2: I'm using myfaces 2.1.8.
Exception:
09:03:49,385 ERROR [br.com.enterprise.enterprisex.faces.common.EnterpriseExceptionHandler] EnterpriseExceptionHandler.handle:

Anyone know a solution to this problem?

Answer 1

I changed javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD to client and this error does not occur in the situations above mentioned. Thanks.
