Seam Mail and IceFaces: Problem with Renderer

ckraus Apr 22, 2010 1:24 PM

Dear all,

I use seam 2.2.0GA with icefaces 1.8.2 on a jboss server to send emails and it works (nearly) perfect.
The problem is that if I try to send an email for the first time after rendering the view, I get a NullPointerException thrown after calling the renderer.render(). Every following click on the 'send email' button sends emails as expected.

Here is the method that renders my mail template:

@In(create = true)
private Renderer renderer;

public void sendMail(Mail mail)
{
    try
    {
        currentMail = mail;
        renderer.render("/system/MailTemplate.xhtml");
        facesMessages.add("Email sent successfully");
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        facesMessages.add("Email sending failed: " + e);
    }
}

Here is my mail template:

<m:message xmlns:m="http://jboss.com/products/seam/mail"
           xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
           importance="high">
    <m:from name="#{currentMail.from.firstname} #{currentMail.from.lastname}"
            address="#{currentMail.from.email}"/>
    <m:to name="#{currentMail.to.firstname} #{currentMail.to.lastname}" address="#{currentMail.to.email}"/>
    <ui:repeat var="_receiver" value="#{currentMail.ccReceivers}">
        <m:cc name="#{_receiver.firstname} #{_receiver.lastname}" address="#{_receiver.email}"/>
    </ui:repeat>
    <m:subject>#{currentMail.subject}</m:subject>
    <m:body>
        <html>
        <body>
        <p>Dear #{currentMail.to.firstname} #{currentMail.to.lastname},</p>
        <p/>
        <p>#{currentMail.body}</p>
        <p>#{currentMail.optionalBody ne null ? currentMail.optionalBody : ''}</p>
        <p/>
        <p>Best regards,</p>
        #{currentMail.from.firstname} #{currentMail.from.lastname}
        </body>
        </html>
    </m:body>
</m:message>

I tried to send the email synchronous as well as asynchonous, but both methods ended in a NullPointerException. I hope anyone can think of my problem.

Many thanks in advance,
Chris

Debug it to see where it fails or at least post the stack trace.

    </application>
</faces-config>

I think the configuration is ok because rendering PDFs or Excelsheets works correct.
I checked if the renderer is NULL, but he isn't.
I jumped through the code, to see what happens after calling the renderer.render(/system/MailTemplate). After initializing a org.jboss.seam.ui.facelet.RendererRequest object, the run() method is called.
Everything works fine... The renderFacelet is called and the facesContext is released and cleaned up. I really don't know, why and where the NullPointerException is thrown, because everything seems to work like expected.
I really hope you can help me...
