javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: View could not be restored

I have written simple application with container-managed security. The problem is when I log in and open another page on which I logout, then I come back to first page and I click on any link etc or refresh page I get this exception. I guess it's normal (or maybe not:)) because I logged out and session is destroyed. What should I do to redirect user to for example index.xhtml or login.xhtml and save him from seeing that error page/message?

In other words how can I automatically redirect other pages to index/login page after I log out?

Here it is:

javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: viewId:/index.xhtml - View /index.xhtml could not be restored.

I resolved this problem in JAVA EE 8 using AjaxExceptionHandler tag of Primefaces this is available from Primefaces 7 or higher (i am using and test in 11 version). Is so easy and you can combine this with a custom ExceptionHandlerWrapper as BalusC suggests. Use onShow event like this if you need that the page reload are auto.

<p:ajaxExceptionHandler type="javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException" 
                        update="viewExpiredDialog" 
                        onexception="PF('viewExpiredDialog').show();" />

<p:dialog id="viewExpiredDialog" header="Session expired" 
          widgetVar="viewExpiredDialog" height="250px" 
          onShow="document.location.href = document.location.href;">
   <h3>Reloading page</h3>
   <p>Message...</p>
   <!--Here, you decide that you need-->
   <h:commandButton value="Reload" action="index?faces-redirect=true" />
   <a href="#{request.contextPath}/login.xhtml">Reload</a>.
</p:dialog>

Add this configuration to faces-config.xml file. See ExceptionHandler and Error Handling

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<faces-config version="2.3" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
              xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
                                  http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_3.xsd">
    <application>
        <el-resolver>
            org.primefaces.application.exceptionhandler.PrimeExceptionHandlerELResolver
        </el-resolver>
    </application>
    <factory>
        <exception-handler-factory>
            org.primefaces.application.exceptionhandler.PrimeExceptionHandlerFactory
        </exception-handler-factory>
    </factory>
</faces-config>

And Voilà this works like clockwork. Regards.
