Description

In FacesRequestProcessor.doForward() (as well as FacesTilesRequestProcessor), if
the call to lifecycle.render(context) throws an exception, then the context is
never given a chance to be released, resulting in an invalid FacesContext being
pegged to the executing thread.

The following code:
======== SNIP ========
lifecycle.render(context);
if (created) {
if (log.isTraceEnabled())

{ log.trace(" Releasing context for '" + uri + "'"); }

context.release();
} else {
if (log.isTraceEnabled())

{ log.trace(" Rendering completed"); }

}
======== /SNIP ========

Should probably be changed to something like:
======== SNIP ========
try

{ lifecycle.render(context); }

finally {
if (created) {
if (log.isTraceEnabled())

{ log.trace(" Releasing context for '" + uri + "'"); }

context.release();
} else {
if (log.isTraceEnabled())

{ log.trace(" Rendering completed"); }

}
}
======== /SNIP ========
