My application uses spring security and JSF 1.2
State saving method defined in my web.xml is stated as server..
When the user is already logged in to application and still tries to login to the application in the same browser in different tab.
I get following exception :
javax.servlet.ServletException

How can I handle restore view phase of JSF??
Or is there any way I can skip this phase and still execute action method of login button?
