ADF faces logout problem

Question

Hi.
I've a problem with ADF faces that I didn't had when I was using the JSF reference implementation. W're using Jboss as a container, but that has nothing to do with this.
Basicly, the users triggers a logoff by clicking a link that leads to the "logoff" JSF page.
This page has exactly this content, and nothing more:
<%-- Tag libraries --%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/refdataportal.tld" prefix="r" %>
<%
org.mycompany.Util util = new org.mycompany.Util();
util.logoff(request);
response.sendRedirect("Goodbye.jsp");
// code DOES reach this point
%>
The logoff function does this:
// invalidate faces
FacesBean.releaseContext();
// invalidate the current session for good measure
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if (session != null)
session.invalidate();
// force the old session to go to the eternal fields of session objects
request.getSession(true);
The redirect to Goodbye.jsp is needed to force a "JBOSS" logoff as well.
Goodbye.jsp is a JSP page (** not ** JSF) which a simple goodbye message.
Anyway, since using ADF I get the stacktrace shown below.
I did try to call release() on AdfFacesContext, but that didn't help.
Do note that we actually reach the line "// code DOES reach this point" shown in the logoff JSF page above... so the redirect() statement is executed.
Anybody knows how to deal with this?
Remember, it used to work perfectly fine with the reference impl.

Hi!
Unfortunally your suggestion didn't work. I did however discover that the exception is only thrown if one uses ADF faces components. There is no error message if reference implementation components are used (even if using the ADF faces renderer class).
Anyway, this is what I trie:
I first did a a regular faces responseComplete() call, as I figured that could be the missing action, but again I got the same exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException
     com.sun.faces.context.FacesContextImpl.assertNotReleased(FacesContextImpl.java:382)
     com.sun.faces.context.FacesContextImpl.getExternalContext(FacesContextImpl.java:110)
     oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.context.AdfFacesPhaseListener._releaseContextIfNecessary(AdfFacesPhaseListener.java:129)
     oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.context.AdfFacesPhaseListener.afterPhase(AdfFacesPhaseListener.java:60)
     com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.phase(LifecycleImpl.java:211)
     com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.render(LifecycleImpl.java:117)
     javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:198)
     oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilterImpl._invokeDoFilter(AdfFacesFilterImpl.java:356)
     oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilterImpl._doFilterImpl(AdfFacesFilterImpl.java:325)
     oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilterImpl.doFilter(AdfFacesFilterImpl.java:190)
     oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilter.doFilter(AdfFacesFilter.java:87)
     com.abnamro.crd.admin.PortalFilter.doFilter(PortalFilter.java:113)
     org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:75)
Then later I tried this actually calling the faces "sendRedirect" function shown below (that is: prior to calling the logoff() code), but again I got the same Oracle exception (see above).
// helper method: redirect to some URL (which may be either absolute or relative)
public synchronized static void redirect(String url)
ExternalContext external = getExternalContext();
if (external == null)
return;
try {
external.redirect(url);
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
responseComplete();
So... unfortunally I did still not get much further...
