      1) Set the default-jsf-impl-slot to something that does not exist
      <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:jsf:1.1" default-jsf-impl-slot="myfaces-2.2.0"/>
      2) there is an unknown variable as to what else is required to cause the NPE, with just step 1 I get a message that the slot is not valid, but some how the customer was getting NPE.

      We are trying to figure out what causes it, it seems to be a misconfiguration when adding an alternative JSF API that JSFDependencyProcessor can end up creating a ModuleDependency where the ModuleIdentifier is null, which is not valid.  There are is valid checks in moduleIdFactory , once we figure out how to reproduce it, we should add another check and not allow it to create an invalid ModuleDependency as it will fail later on and there it requires byteman to locate the processor that created the invalid dependency.

       

       22 package org.jboss.as.jsf.deployment;

 54 public class JSFDependencyProcessor implements DeploymentUnitProcessor {

110     private void addJSFAPI(String jsfVersion, ModuleSpecification moduleSpecification, ModuleLoader moduleLoader) {
111         if (jsfVersion.equals(JsfVersionMarker.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL)) return;
112 
113         ModuleIdentifier jsfModule = moduleIdFactory.getApiModId(jsfVersion);
114         ModuleDependency jsfAPI = new ModuleDependency(moduleLoader, jsfModule, false, false, false, false);
115         moduleSpecification.addSystemDependency(jsfAPI);
116     }

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
