Hi all,
I'm currently upgrading my shale version from a nightly build back in
January, to version 1.0.3.
In my destory method, when I call getExternalContext() I get a NPE.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.shale.view.AbstractFacesBean.getExternalContext(
AbstractFacesBean.java:77)
I need the externalContext to get a hold of the response so that I can
delete a cookie, if needed. I also use the session and request to log
some metrics, which also comes from the ExternalContext.
Any Ideas?
Unfortunately, destroy is called after the JSF response lifecycle has been
completed, so there is no more ExternalContext at that point :-(.
However, even if there was, I don't think it would do you much good. Since
destroy is called after rendering, the response will have already been
"committed" (in the servlet sense), including the HTTP headers that include
your cookies. So, you would not be able to delete a cookie then anyway.
I'd recommend trying this in prerender(), where you know you can get to the
response object before the headers have been sent.
THANKS.
