NullPointerException after updating JSF to 2.1, Richfaces to 4.3.7

When updating

jsf from 1.2 to 2.1
richfaces from 3.3.3 to 4.3.7.Final

I got stuck with some strange exception

java.lang.NullPointerException
com.ocpsoft.pretty.faces.application.PrettyNavigationHandler.processFacesNavigation(PrettyNavigationHandler.java:58)

javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:593)
ua.com.winforce.online.site.http.filter.LocaleFilter.doFilter(LocaleFilter.java:65)

which appears after submitting simple form on login.jspx page

<h:form>
<div class="form-group">
    <label for="rLogin"><h:outputText value="#{localeController.locale.registr.email}" escape="false"/></label>
    <h:inputText id="rLogin"  value="#{playerRegistration.login}" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
    <label for="rPassword"><h:outputText value="#{localeController.locale.registr.password}" escape="false"/></label>
    <h:inputSecret value="#{playerRegistration.password}"/>
</div>
    <h:commandButton value="#{localeController.locale.mainMsg.registration}" action="#{playerRegistration.doRegistration}" />

LocaleFilter works as usual.

After updating I left .jspx page format.

I think that something wrong in configuration but can't find the reason.

I am ready to add any extra information to find a reason of this situation. I hope someone can help me to find out how to solve this problem, because Google doesn't know about this issue. Any help will be useful.

Solution

the problem was in the following dependency

com/ocpsoft/prettyfaces-jsf12/3.3.3/prettyfaces-jsf12-3.3.3.jar

when I replaced it with

com/ocpsoft/prettyfaces-jsf2/3.3.3/prettyfaces-jsf2-3.3.3.jar

for the second version of JSF, the problem has gone
