Drop Support (phaseTracker Error)

[richfacesuser11]

Hi,

Appologies if it seems like this is a repeat post, but i couldn't find anything recent.

My tech stack is RichFaces-3.3.3-Final used within JBOSS Seam (2.2)

I am having trouble trying to invoke the dropSupport processDrop(DropEvent event) method on the DropListener implementation. i can drag the value into the correct drop zone but my stack trace show's numerous PhaseTracker errors and hence the processDrop is not called.

I have attached the code and error message below, any help would be greatly appreciated

@Name("associateEventBean")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class AssociateEventBean implements DropListener {

    public void processDrop(DropEvent dropEvent) {
        log.debug("processDrop invoked...");
     }

}
