thanks, that would make sense about the name. My next problem then is how is that component null. What I didn't show is that this is part of a pageflow and the first step in the pageflow setups the ICheckoutAction which I include below. I'm pretty sure that an exception was not thrown prior to the one above (I have a custom filter than emails me all exceptions). In fact, as part of the exception email, I dump the contents of the Seam contexts and found this component (first in list below) in the conversation context just like I expected it to be there: | Conversation Context | key[shop.cart.checkout] value[CheckoutAction:3j001-cgob78-euao51bl-1-eublwqzu-53] | key[businessProcess] value[org.jboss.seam.core.BusinessProcess@1e04a34] | key[shop.login] value[LoginAction:3j001-cgob78-euao51bl-1-eublwqzv-54] | key[shop.register] value[RegisterAction:3j001-cgob78-euao51bl-1-eublwsh5-55] | key[processRepository] value[com.itsolut.core.component.ProcessRepository@27b78e] | key[em] value[ManagedPersistenceContext(java:/shopEntityManagerFactory)] | key[shop.cart.checkout.verify] value[VerifyCartAction:3j001-cgob78-euao51bl-1-eubm2zea-5g] | key[pageflow] value[Pageflow(default_2)] | key[facesMessages] value[org.jboss.seam.core.FacesMessages@183d805] | key[shop.cart.checkout.paymethod] value[PaymethodAction:3j001-cgob78-euao51bl-1-eublzabt-5b] | key[billingAddresses] value[org.jboss.seam.jsf.ListDataModel@108e9aa] | key[shop.cart.checkout.shipTo] value[ShipToAction:3j001-cgob78-euao51bl-1-eubm2ze4-5f] | key[redirect] value[org.jboss.seam.core.Redirect@db5d26] | key[conversation] value[org.jboss.seam.core.Conversation@1c0726f] | key[shop.cart.checkout.billing.address] value[BillingAddressAction:3j001-cgob78-euao51bl-1-eubm209x-5e] | key[shop.cart.checkout.authorize] value[AuthorizeCartAction:3j001-cgob78-euao51bl-1-eubm3srp-5h] | So, if the component (first on the in the list), is in the conversation context, why is it not found?
