WAS 8.5.5.0 causes NullPointerException with Oracle JSF2.0.x

  • 1.  WAS 8.5.5.0 causes NullPointerException with Oracle JSF2.0.x

    Posted Wed August 28, 2013 08:02 AM
    Hello group,

    in my project, I need to use SUN/Oracle JSF 2.0.(4-b09) and I packaged API and IMPL in my WAR-Deployment. I changed to PARENT_LAST classloading behavior and it worked fine. My application run on WAS 8.5.2.0 Network Deployment.
    A few days ago our project admins installed WAS 8.5.5.0 Refresh Pack and now I see an NullPointerException deep inside JSF-UIComponentBase:


    Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
      at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.getRenderer(UIComponentBase.java:1273)
      at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.decode(UIComponentBase.java:793)
      at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.processDecodes(UIComponentBase.java:1052)
      at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.processDecodes(UIComponentBase.java:1047)
      at javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot.processDecodes(UIViewRoot.java:926)

    The call causing the exception came throw Spring-Webflow and the exception will be thrown on an normal submit and on an ajax-request, as well.

    Do you have same experiences? Or ideas what could have changed from 8.5.2.0 to 8.5.5.0 causing this error?
    Thank you!
    Carsten
