java.lang.NullPointerException: at com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.HtmlResponseWriter.getAttributeValue

I'm trying to use the new passthrough attribute feature in my web application, however i'm having problems with nullable attributes. This is the code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

      xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui" 
      xmlns:util="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/composite/util"
      xmlns:pt="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough"
      xmlns:c="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsp/jstl/core">
...
<p:outputPanel  pt:example="#{mybean.nullableAttribute}"  >
...
</p:outputPanel>

I'm getting the exception:

When the attribute is null. It does work when it's not null. I have tried with mojarra 2.2.0 and 2.2.6 (I'm on glassfish 4.0)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Solution

  • This bug was reported as issue 3208 is fixed in Mojarra 2.2.7.

    So, upgrading to at least that version should do. Currently, it's already at 2.2.8.
