RE: Component to format null values
I think you can use the format: t:formatnull value=${contract?.manager?.address?.city?.name} / ... where if any of the hierarchy is null is will stop trying to evaluate methods / properties on subordinates, avoiding your NPE.

You're welcome Dmitriy. One thing I should have said was that my example ${...} forced coercion to a String, which may / may not be required in your case.
