> Our application uses Richfaces push functionality and makes a call to lookup the TopicsContext in the constructor of one of a backing bean. The code looks like this below. This works fine when Richfaces is packaged in the war, however when we extract the richfaces jars into a module and have our applications declare a module dependency, there is an issue when we redeploy the application. It works fine when JBoss is first started, but if we redeploy the application while JBoss is running, we are getting a NullPointerException in our application because TopicsContext.lookup() is returning null.

>     @PostConstruct
>     public void postContruct() {
>       TopicsContext topicsContext = TopicsContext.lookup();
>       if(topicsContext == null)
>         log(" - topicsContext is NULL");
>       pushTK = new TopicKey(PUSH_TOPIC);
>       // this will fail if topicsContext is null (NPE)
>       topicsContext.getOrCreateTopic(pushTK);
>     }
> {code}
