I've a simple jsf webapp working in a servlet context. I would apply portletbridge so that I can run it in the servlet context and in the portlet context in the same time. Adding a simple portlet.xml and the portletbridge 3.2.1 dependencies in the pom.xml, I get this error when I connect to the application outside the portlet context:

18:01:18,291 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/gatein-forums].[Faces Servlet]] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-1) Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

connect I see that the BridgeContext.getCurrentInstance() command returns null. How it misses? Can I use the portletbridge outside the portlet context?
