title: standard error page does not work for forwards in jsf
body: <p>whenever i have a redirect and something goes wrong(eg: NullPointer) then the configured error page is shown. However if i have a forward to certain page then the standard error page is not shown but the current page freezes i.e. the user will not be able to proceed further and there will be no error message too.</p>
  
  <p>when i say forward, it is a navigation rule without <code>&lt;redirect/&gt;</code>.
  when i say redirect, it is new window opening up.</p>
  
  <p>i am using IBM Websphere.</p>
  
  <p>any pointer would be of great help.
  thanks. </p>
