Tiles + Adf Faces + MyFaces

[Joe Reger, Jr.]

I saw a thread similar to this recently but couldn't find a resolution
that worked for me.

I'm getting NPEs when I use Adf Faces with MyFaces 1.1.3, Tiles and
Tomcat 5.5.12:

30187 [http-127.0.0.1-80-1] ERROR

The error seems to come from navigation.jsp which is included inside a
Tiles template:

<f:subview id="menu">
     <tiles:insert attribute="menu" flush="false" />
</f:subview>

The code in navigation.jsp is fairly straightforward... I have a
<h:panelGrid> and a few <h:commandLink> tags.

My web.xml looks like:

    <context-param>
       <param-name>oracle.adf.view.faces.ALTERNATE_VIEW_HANDLER</param-name>
       <param-value>
        org.apache.myfaces.tomahawk.application.jsp.JspTilesViewHandlerImpl
        </param-value>
   </context-param>
    <filter>
       <filter-name>adfFaces</filter-name>
       <filter-class>oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilter</filter-class>
   </filter>
   <filter-mapping>
       <filter-name>adfFaces</filter-name>
       <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
   </filter-mapping>
   <servlet>
       <servlet-name>resources</servlet-name>
       
<servlet-class>oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.ResourceServlet</servlet-class>
   </servlet>
   <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>resources</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/adf/*</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>

And my faces-config.xml includes:

<application>
       <default-render-kit-id>oracle.adf.core</default-render-kit-id>
</application>

Any help is appreciated!

Best,

Joe
