I removed the context parameter.

I did change the javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD from client to server
and *now* I have JAAS working with JSF.

Thanks,

It's not documented, because ideally it's not needed.
Some background:

JSF 1.1, if using server-side state saving and the session expired, the
view
would just be created from scratch and rendered.

In JSF 1.2, it was decided that if the session expires that a
ViewExpiredException
would be thrown to allow developers more control of what happens when a
session
expires (e.g. have a custom mechanism that catches this exception and
redirects the
user to a login page).

When you enable that parameter, you get the behavior that was specified
for 1.1.

I'd recommend not relying on this parameter. Have you looked at this
blog [1] on
JAAS and JSF (it uses JSF 1.2)?
