'sometimes' a nullpointer exception for #{identity.loggedIn}

[koenhandekyn]

i sometimes get a nullpointer exception with the following root:

rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}": Cannot get value for expression '#{org.jboss.seam.security.identity}'

the main issue is that it happens sometimes and that triggering a page refresh within the same session just continues as if nothing was wrong.

so it seems that for some reason i don't understand sometimes the name 'identity' doesn't seem to be bound ???

i searched the forum but i did not manage to find anything related.

any comments on this behaviour which is not blocking for development but blocking for deployment.

Are you using seam 1.2.1 with richFaces/ajax4Jjsf enabled? I suffer from very similar problems. Randomly I get exceptions like your exception or exceptions like this one: "Cannot get value for expression '#{org.jboss.seam.messages}' "

After I switched off ajax4jsf by commenting out the ajax4jsf filter and the ajax4jsf.VIEW_HANDLERS within web.xml and reactivating the view-handler within faces-config.xml the problem disapears.

I am also facing the same problem but in a slight different case.i have a dropdown downlist s like this
<h:outputLabel value="#{msg.supplier}" />
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{claimHandler.suppList}">
<si:selectItems value="#{supplierValues}" var="suppList" label="#{suppList.claimsuppName}" />
<si:convertEntity entityClass="com.dss.web.model.SupplierModel" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:outputLabel value="#{msg.suppNo}" />
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{claimHandler.suppNoList}">
<si:selectItems value="#{supplierNoValues}" var="suppNoList" label="#{suppNoList.claimsuppNo}" />
<si:convertEntity entityClass="com.dss.web.model.SupplierNoModel" />
</h:selectOneMenu>


where if i run individually it is working fine but if i am using the two drop downs at a time in my jsp page ,sometimes it is displaying properly but sometimes it is giving error message as suppNoList.claimsuppNo as not bound at all...

plz help me ..

Hey ffischer !! I 'm also having that problem !! random #{org.jboss.seam.security.identity} and #{org.jboss.seam.messages} erros, I do have ajax4jsf in web.xml, I can disable it there as you say, but then I get

Resources framework is not initialised, check web.xml for Filter configuration

when I disable

<filter>
 <display-name>Ajax4jsf Filter</display-name>
 <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
 <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
 <url-pattern>*.seam</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

in web.xml, how does your web.xml and faces-config.xml look like ? please, that would help a lot.

Sorry Daniel,

my comment about disableing ajax4jsf is really misleading. I was in the happy situation that I switched an old seam app (1.1.5) without any use of ajax4jsf over to 1.2.1.GA.
I used seam-gen to build the project structure for seam 1.2.1 and moved all my classes/src and the necessary configurations over to the new project.
So ajax4jsf was enabled, but not used in my app - but the errors occured in spite of that.
After disableing the ajax4jsf filter, everything started to work again flawless.
