With JBoss 4.0.5GA, MyFaces 1.1.4, Portal 2.4, Seam 1.1beta Facelets and Ajax4JSF we are seeing problems again. It looks to me that this is triggered by the exception below.

The MyFacesGenericPortlet takes care of all the initialization of MyFaces. Stan View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3981397#...
