NPE in MyFacesWebAppContext.doStart() if jsf web application is packaged into an EAR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-6079 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6079 Project: Geronimo Issue Type: Bug Security Level: public (Regular issues) Components: myfaces Affects Versions: 3.0 Reporter: Ivan Assignee: Ivan Fix For: 3.0 Hi, Dev: I packaged a web app with jsf features into an EAR, and deployed it, but got an NPE when starting MyFacesWebAppContext gbean. This is related with code line in MyFacesModuleBuilderExtension AbstractName myFacesWebAppContextName = moduleContext.getNaming().createChildName(moduleName, "myFacesWebAppContext", "MyFacesWebAppContext"); In an EAR, ModuleContext abstract name is like: org.apache.geronimo.daytrader/daytrader/3.0.0.0/car?j2eeType=J2EEApplication,name=org.apache.geronimo.daytrader/daytrader/3.0.0.0/car The result won't contain "WebModule" But in an WAR is like com.apache.geronimo.samples/jsf/3.0.0.0/car?J2EEApplication=null,WebModule=com.apache.geronimo.samples/jsf/3.0.0.0/car # contaning WebModule The result contains "WebModule" After constructing MyFacesWebAppContext GBean, and start it as below, public String getWebModuleName(){ return abName.getNameProperty(NameFactory.WEB_MODULE); # NameFactory.WEB_MODULE value is "WebModule" } @Override public void doStart() throws Exception { MYFACES_WEBAPP_CONTEXTS.put(getWebModuleName(), this); } trying to find a WebModule string in its abstract name, but if jsf web app is in an ear, its abstractname doesn't contain WebModule, coz of its parent is an EAR, whose abstract name doesn't include WebModule. This code only work when jsf web app is standalone. What i think is change MyFacesWebAppContext mapping way or change myfaceswebappcontext abstractname generation way,not sure which is better. Appreciate if somebody can shadow some lights on it. -- viola Apache Geronimo -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
