This is what I'm getting in the browser after the page makes an Ajax request and the session has been timeout, I'm implementing OmniFaces FullAjaxExceptionHandler.

This is the error shown in the console:
FullAjaxExceptionHandler: An exception occurred during processing JSF ajax request. Error page '/errorpages/expired.xhtml' will be shown.: javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: viewId:/login.xhtml - View /login.xhtml could not be restored.
I solved by disabling FullAjaxExceptionHandler and implementing my own ViewExpiredExceptionHandler (ExceptionHandlerWrapper), and hardcoding the response in case of an Ajax request.
The Douglas Junior answer from this post is what worked for me: Session timeout and ViewExpiredException handling on JSF/PrimeFaces ajax request
Now I have another problem with the redirects, but that would be another post, thanks guys for the help.
