FacesContext is null in tomcat logs

nohacks Nov 25, 2009 3:42 PM

Hi All,

I have been working on this issue for the last week. I can't seem to figure it out. My logs in Tomcat 6 are filled with errors like this..:

Nov 16, 2009 7:36:00 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception
java.lang.NullPointerException: FacesContext is null

It might be the way I am using includes.
currently I am using

<%@ include file="common/footer.jsp" %>

but was told to change to

<a4j:include viewId="common/footer.jsp"></a4j:include>
or
 <jsp:include page="common/footer.jsp" flush = "true" />

This is great but I can't seem to get this to work with my application. I updated the
Standard.jar and
jstl-1.2.jar

That did not help.

I get this error now.

now I get this error...SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /common/footer.jsp(6,55) #{..} is not allowed in template text

Tomcat 6.0
how do I fix this issue??

This is the code example.

Welcome.jsp

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<%
String path = request.getContextPath();
String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+request.getServerPort()+path+"/";
%>

<html>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/rich" prefix="rich"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.org/a4j" prefix="a4j"%>

<f:view>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<body>
<a4j:form id="f1" >
<table align="center" border="0" width="825" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">


<a4j:include viewId="common/footer.jsp"></a4j:include>


 </table>
 </a4j:form>

 </body>
 </f:view>
</html>

Footer.jsp

<f:loadBundle basename="loadNet" var="NetFixBundlefoot"/>
<tr >
<table align="center" border="0" width="910">
 <tr>
 <td align="left"><a href="/emailFormContactUs.jsf">Contact Us</a></td>
 <td align="right" width="50%"><h:outputText value="#{NetFixBundlefoot.netFixUpFooter}" /> copy sign </td>
 </tr>
</table>

<table align="center" border="0" width="910">
 <tr>
 <td align="center">
 </td>
 </tr>
</table>

</tr>
