Guess I should subscribe to the developers list as well :) In any case, I have seen multiple posts on Websphere 6 and Myfaces, but none of these (including the one you linked) looked the same as my issue. Maybe they are related, but my null pointer occurs in my backing bean because the state of the list included on my bean was never saved/restored. At this point, I'm not sure if it is even trying to save the state or not, although I can see the UISaveState component in the component tree (thanks to Facelets). And if it is failing, I'm not sure why there is no error/exception.
