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.
