I don't have any clue at the moment. After running jboss(6.0) server for over night in my freebsd server with my web application, this morning I found this exception when I navigate to my jsf page. The jsf page is written in jsf2.0 and Primefaces 2.2.1 .

Thank you advance for any suggestion and help.

Sam.

I forgot to mention, I am using JDK1.6 in FreeBSD 8.1.

Is this the problem with my "outdated" JDK version?

should I upgrade jdk version to 1.6_21?

Thanks

Update JDK if you have such old sounds as a possible fix

Is OpenJDK7 good for JBOSS 60?

Thanks

Hi Sam,

could you take a look at this page: http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5598

Here the reason for a similar error message was invalid markup (unclosed tag).

Hope this helps

Wolfgang

Ola,

I got the same exception only when the view is expired  and it is probably a majorra bug (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4792437/java-lang-illegalargumentexception-null-source)

You are also in the restore view phase when the exception is thrown so i it would not surprise me that the exception only occurs when the session times out.

grtz,

Bram
