NullPointerException in SessionMap.setAttribute -----------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-1392 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1392 Project: MyFaces Core Issue Type: Bug Components: General Affects Versions: 1.1.3 Reporter: Mads Peter Henderson I frequently - but far from always get a NPE when I use the variable resolver to resolve a session scope variable. Does anyone have any idea of what I am doing wrong? The setup is this. I have set up a session scope backing bean let's call it my myBean. I have a servlet that generates graphic elements for some pages based on the information in myBean. In the servlet I do the following: FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); if (facesContext == null) { FacesContextFactory fcf = (FacesContextFactory) FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.FACES_CONTEXT_FACTORY); LifecycleFactory lifecycleFactory = (LifecycleFactory) FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.LIFECYCLE_FACTORY); facesContext = fcf.getFacesContext(getServletContext(), req, resp, lifecycleFactory.getLifecycle(LifecycleFactory.DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE )); } if (facesContext != null) { VariableResolver vr = facesContext.getApplication().getVariableResolver(); if (vr != null) { Object o = vr.resolveVariable(facesContext, "myBean"); } } As I started to say the line: vr.resolveVariable(facesContext, "myBean"); somtimes throw a NPE with the following trace: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.myfaces.context.servlet.SessionMap.setAttribute(SessionMap.java:50) at org.apache.myfaces.context.servlet.AbstractAttributeMap.put(AbstractAttributeMap.java:104) at org.apache.myfaces.el.VariableResolverImpl$13.put(VariableResolverImpl.java:192) at org.apache.myfaces.el.VariableResolverImpl.resolveVariable(VariableResolverImpl.java:328) at org.apache.myfaces.config.LastVariableResolverInChain.resolveVariable(LastVariableResolverInChain.java:42) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
