I use some custom annotations in backing beans in my application. They works fine as long as the attribute metadata-complete in web.xml is set to false. However, when I set it to true, I get the following exception when JSF is trying to create an instance of the backing bean: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.faces.vendor.Tomcat6InjectionProvider.inject(Tomcat6InjectionProvider.java:82) at com.sun.faces.mgbean.BeanBuilder.injectResources(BeanBuilder.java:203) at com.sun.faces.mgbean.BeanBuilder.build(BeanBuilder.java:107) at com.sun.faces.mgbean.BeanManager.createAndPush(BeanManager.java:368) .... The exception occurs because the statement servletContext.getAttribute(AnnotationProcessor.class.getName()) in Tomcat6InjectionProvider returns null. It looks like turning off the standard JEE annotations makes it impossible to use custom annotations. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a workaround? Here are components of my applications: Java 6, Tomcat 6.0.18, JSF 1.2 Mojarra, Spring 2.5.6, Facelets 1.1.14. _________________________________________________________________ Lauren found her dream laptop.
