NPE after upgrade to Richfaces 3.3.1

[michael.litherland]

Hi,

I'm running on JBoss 4.2.2.GA and recently upgraded from RF 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 and I'm getting unexpected exceptions:

java.lang.NullPointerException
 org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.Log4JConversionFilter.isConfigStartupMessage(Log4JConversionFilter.java:60)
 org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.Log4JConversionFilter.isLoggable(Log4JConversionFilter.java:73)

it seems the LogRecord is null or its .getMessage() method is returning null.

This is sort of a big deal, as I'm trying to upgrade to correct a production problem on IE8 (hopefully it'll fix it, modalPanel isn't behaving consistently), and the upgrade itself is giving me an awfully hard time. I did make sure that the requisite libraries were updated in the project.

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks for the help,
Mike

I forgot to mention... this seems to happen when clicking on rich:menuItem elements.

Hi Mike,

Can you please post full stack trace?

I think this is all of it...

I posted in that thread. It doesn't really contain an answer to the subject. To me saying "don't use target="" because it's broken" doesn't really help.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

Check JIRA issue for possible workaround.
