I have set up precompilation of a myfaces web app according to the instructions found at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/jasper-howto.html
Precompilation completes successfully. There are no errors; only a warning about not being able to initialize Log4J. Not precompiling things, everything works fine. However, when I precompile, I get a NullPointerException when the servlet tries to render the f:view. Please review the relevent information below, and help me figure out what I am doing wrong!
