Dynamical attributes for <layout-render> may cause NullPointerException with 
FreeMarker
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: STS-889
                 URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-889
             Project: Stripes
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Tag Library
    Affects Versions: Release 1.5.7
         Environment: FreeMarker 2.3.18, Tomcat 6.0.20
            Reporter: Uri Savelchev


LayoutRenderTag initializes its LayoutContext in the initialize() method that 
is called from setName(), expecting that setName() is called prior to 
setDynamicAttribute(). It is explained in the comments that it can't be called 
from setPageContext() due a dependency on setName(). I didn't find the 
dependency, but hit another problem: FreeMarker does not guarantee the order in 
that the attributes are set. In result the setDynamicAttribute() method may be 
called prior to setName() and then it causes a NullPointerException because 
'this.context' is not initialized yet.

I resolved it for myself by overloading setPageContext() and moving the 
initialize() call into the method.
