I've had to maintain a Tomcat 6.0 based application here at work and that thing has issues! I wouldn't be suprised if the error had nothing to do with "*No saved view state could be found for the view identifier*". On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 9:25 AM, Solomon Mburu <solo.mburu@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Solomon, IMHO HTTP Status 500 is one of those error codes that just makes life interesting . W3C describes it as: 'The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request'. While Wikipedia says: 'A generic error message, given when no more specific message is suitable'. Simply put the Java application server or container has no idea what's causing the error. But looking further into your error below I found out that it could be caused by a session timeout during the filling of the form. Try doing it again keeping this in mind and see if it works.
