ok...I was right - it was something stupid. I was inheriting from ConfigurableComposerAction but then masking the ComponenetManager variable in my class, and not providing an implementation of compose() to correspond. Looking up componenets off of a null ComponenetManager doesn't appear to work very well.
That said, Things like NullPointer exceptions thrown during configure() ever make it to the stack trace in the result, which made finding this a bit harder, and even made it look a bit like my Action was not even being found. > ---------- > From: Lewis, Andrew J > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 11:31 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find the > component on custom Action > > I sent this to the wrong list earlier...sorry... > > ---------- > From: Lewis, Andrew J > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 10:22 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find > the component on custom Action > > > I'm using Cocon 2.0.1 release, and developing a custom action.
