Hi,
I have an existing Struts 1 application with Tiles and JSP. I would like to use
JSF 2 components instead of the JSP tags and leave the business logic and
actions as is.
These are the steps I followed :
1. Copied jsf-impl , jsf-api.jar and struts-faces-1.3.8.jar in my
web-inf/lib folder of my application
2. Configured the faces servlet in my web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>faces</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>faces</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/do/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I also configured my action servlet as follows :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
I forwarded a menu option to a page through an action class using tiles. The
target page is /faces/pages/home.jsp.
After the action is executed, it throws the following error -
WARNING: executePhase(RENDER_RESPONSE
6,com.sun.faces.context.facescontexti...@1ebf89f) threw exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
com.sun.faces.renderkit.RenderKitImpl.createResponseWriter(RenderKitImpl.java:183)
FacesContext is returned as null.
Please help
