    Migration to JSF2/Richfaces4: NullPointerException: Resource input stream is null

    javatwo

      I am migrating web app from JBoss 5.1 to JBoss 7/JSF2/Richfaces4, using facelet,  got the following exception:

       

      14:48:46,921 ERROR [stderr] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-4) java.lang.NullPointerException: Resource input stream is null

      what might be the cause? the exception did not give me much information.

      Thanks for help.

          Debugging ...

           

          when trying to access

          /javax.faces.resource/calendar.ecss.xhtml?ln=org.richfaces

           

          CompiledCSSResource.java

          styleSheet = parser.parseStyleSheet(source, null, null);

          return  null styleSheet.

           

          I am using the cssparser-0.9.7.jar,   com.steadystate.css.parser.CSSOMParser,

          which is not from richfaces download. This is the right jar to use?

           

          but the the ecss is in the richfaces jar ( 4.2.3.Final).

          META-INF/resources/org.richfaces/calendar.ecss

           

          Thanks for help.

            has anyone used JSF2/Richfaces 4 successfully? I trying 4.2.3.Final, but not successful.

            The show case:  http://showcase.richfaces.org/ 

            is for RF 4 features. I am wondering if I can download the war somewhere, to see if it works

            in my JBoss 7 environment.

             

            Thanks for any info.
