[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-1730) Injecting uiComponent with required = false fails with NPE if FacesContext is not available

Injecting uiComponent with required = false fails with NPE if FacesContext is not available ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1730 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1730 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.0.0.BETA1 Reporter: Daniel Young Assigned To: Gavin King Priority: Critical Fix For: 2.0.0.CR1 If you inject a UIComponent into a bean as follows: @In(required = false, value = "#{uiComponent['XXX']}") It fails for any method call that occurs with no FacesContext present (eg: in my case, a WebRemote method). I think if the faces context is null, then UiComponent.get() should just return null, in a similar way to the JBSEAM-1628 change that added the catch statement for IllegalArgumentException from the Sun RI.
