Hi, A couple of ideas: - What's in the FacesServlet.init method? It's throwing the NPE, not Tomcat. Knowing that code will help us track down a possible Tomcat bug. - Please don't quote the whole stack trace unless really needed ;) It made your message very long and after the first couple of lines the stack trace is meaningless (in this case). - Go get Tomcat 5.5.2 and try it out if you can.
