[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: JBoss 4.0.5.GA: java.lang.NullPointerException: serialF

Huh,
  I managed to make the system "work" by doing very uglyt hacking in SeamStateManager.java


  | 
  |     public void writeState(FacesContext ctx, SerializedView sv)
  | 	    throws IOException {
  | 
  | 	{
  | 
  | 	    ExternalContext extCtx = ctx.getExternalContext();
  | 	    Object serialFactoryObj = extCtx.getApplicationMap().get(
  | 		    StateUtils.SERIAL_FACTORY);
  |  
  | 	    if (serialFactoryObj == null) {
  | 		SerialFactory serialFactory;
  | 		serialFactory = new DefaultSerialFactory();
  | 		extCtx.getApplicationMap().put(StateUtils.SERIAL_FACTORY,
  | 			serialFactory);
  | 	    }
  | 
  | 	}
  | 	stateManager.writeState(ctx, sv);
  |     }
  | 

That is,  NO org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener configured in web.xml. 

Maybe this is MyFaces bug, because in org.apache.myfaces.portlet.MyFacesGenericPortlet has a lot of methods for all kind of initaliazation (like init() and initMyFaces()).  Especially interesting is the initMyFaces() which looks like replacement of StartupServletContextListener.initFaces(), but for portal/portlets. Somehow however,  i couldn't get the SERIAL_FACTORY hack work from initMyFaces() due to FacesContext being null. 

I hope i'm not missing anything else (critical)  from StartupServletContextListener initalization if the MyFacesGenericPortlet is not working correclty.
