Greetings, I'm deploying to JBoss [EAP] 4.2.0.GA (build: SVNTag=JBPAPP_4_2_0_GA date=200706281411)) running portal version 2.6.2-GA. When I deploy the application, which defines a new portal and portlets, I'm getting the following error: 15:44:19,046 ERROR [[/Foo]] Servlet /Foo threw load() exception java.lang.NullPointerException

portal and portlets defined in the application. However, the content of the portlets does not appear. This is a JSF based application using facelets. I was using the packaged "portal-identity" as an example. I assume this a problem with my configuration files but, I'm not sure where. Any suggestions on things I should look for/at?
