    NullPointerException with Component.getInstance(Class, boole

    sradford

      I'm getting a NPE with Seam 1.1.5 and JBoss 4.0.5 when calling

      Component.getInstance(Class, boolean);


      with a true value for the boolean.

      The stack trace is:

      17:34:45,347 ERROR [STDERR] java.lang.NullPointerException
      17:34:45,426 ERROR [STDERR] at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.getAttribute(Request.java:835)

      Seems like a problem with catalina to me...

       /**
       * Return the specified request attribute if it exists; otherwise, return
       * <code>null</code>.
       *
       * @param name Name of the request attribute to return
       */
       public Object getAttribute(String name) {
      
       if (name.equals(Globals.DISPATCHER_TYPE_ATTR)) {
       ...
      


      Or am I being stupid?
