More on InvalidSessionException

Thursday, July 31, 2008

In a previous post, WSRP Error Handling and InvalidSessionException, I talked about the need to trap and handle InvalidSessionException differently then other faults in a WSRP interceptor. This struck me as a bit odd because a developer should not have to worry about the type of fault thrown when writing an error handling interceptor. As a result I opened a support case with Oracle support for this issue in order to get clarification.

It turns out that the issue I was having with InvalidSessionException was due to a patch that we had deployed for another issue in WLP 10 GA. This patch, YTRS, was needed to fix an issue where InvalidSessionException would be generated if a portlet received a handleEvents or getRenderDependencies request first. Unfortunately it appears that it also broke the default InvalidSessionException handling when an interceptor is deployed.

This patch was fixed in 10.2 so this issue may be there as well, just keep this in mind when deploying an error handling interceptor.
