Hi,

I have an EAR application that works just fine on several regular JBoss 4.2.0.GA servers, and locally on a JBoss 4.2 EAP standalone.

I deployed that app to a corporate JBoss EAP 4.2 cluster (3 nodes), deployment goes well and doesnt throw any error, however when accessing the app i get the following error:

phase(RENDER_RESPONSE 6,com.sun.faces.context.FacesContextImpl@14d75d5) threw exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No active application scope No active application scope

Am puzzled... suspecting a poorly configured server, but have no direct access to it...

Any help much appreciated, thanks !
