Thanks for the info- but this isn't exactly what I am asking. First of all, I am a MyFaces USER not a developer. I use Eclipse and JBoss and I know how to do debugging of my code. My issue is basically the stack trace I have included. None of the classes in the stack trace are mine. They are all Myfaces / Trinidad or utility.
So my responsibility as a Faces developer is to correctly assemble a component tree and then let the Faces implementation either render the tree I have built OR tell me what I'm doing wrong. The state of MyFaces is such that it does not catch everything that I am doing wrong and instead results in a stack trace as I have included. My real concern is HOW do I figure out what I have done wrong short of looking at Apache source code. I am wondering what other people do when faced with this problem. As for me, I generally start removing things and adding them back in until I localize the problem area, then try different things until it starts working.
