NullPointerException with @Factory methods and null for Page Scoped variables ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3169 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3169 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.0.3.CR1 Environment: JVM 1.5_06, Mac OS X 10.5 Reporter: Vivian Steller outjecting |null| to the page context leads to an |NullPointerException|. Consider this code: {code} @Name("courseFactory") @Scope(APPLICATION) public class CourseFactory { @Factory(value = COURSE, autoCreate = true, scope = PAGE) public Course loadCourse() { ... return null; } } {code} When asking for |#{course}| in a facelets page, a NPE is thrown. See the stack trace below. However, not using a |@Factory| method with return value works without any exception: {code} @Name("courseFactory") @Scope(APPLICATION) public class CourseFactory { @Out(scope = PAGE, required = false) private Course course; @Factory(value = COURSE, autoCreate = true) public void loadCourse() { ... course = null; } } {code} In my opinion both types of |@Factory| notations should behave the same, right? Maybe this bug is also related to [JBSEAM-81=>http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-81]? Here is the stack trace: {code} 06:12:50,977 ERROR [STDERR] 15.07.2008 06:12:50 com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler handleRenderException SCHWERWIEGEND: Error Rendering View[/teaching/lecture.xhtml]
