Accessing a JSF view from Web Services

[hvram.hvram1.gmail.com]

Hi
  I am using facelets for rendering a page . This page displays the statistics for my application . Since this is a xhtml and hence well formed xml I would like to make this page available via the WebServices method also .I am doing this because I want to make sure that the web page and the page available to the Web Service show the same data.
I have tried the following and it does not work

In the WebServices Implementation I tried

Renderer renderer = Renderer.instance();
renderer.render("mypage.xhtml");

This throws a NullPointer Exception while trying to render the page.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException:

I have set the standard-jaxws-endpoint-config.xml and I have enabled debug statements for the SOAP Handler and have seen that this is invoked.  From my understanding I think the Seam Filter is not invoked for the request. should I add a context in the web.xml for these requests

Let me know where I have gone wrong

Hi
  I have managed to debug some more . The problem seems to be with the El Expressions in the xhtml page. The mypage.xhtml contains the following

<h:outputText value="#{component.description}"
<h:dataTable value="#{component.list} var="item">
  <h:columm> <h:outputText value="#{item.description}" /> </h:column>
</h:dataTable>

I find that the component.description El Expression is evaluated properly while the item.description throws the Null Pointer Exception thrown above.

Is there some additional EL Resolvers I need to add for the Web Service to resolve the var in the 2nd ElExpression

All help will be appreciated

Regards
Hari
