hi all,
I have a very strange problem.

I am having an empty jsp page with no controls placed on it and just the <f:view> and <h:form> tags placed on the page and also had them closed properly.(and also all the tagllibs declared properly)
Tomcat is giving me an error saying java.lang.NullPointerException
javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag.setupResponseWriter(UIComponentTag.java:634)
javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag.doStartTag(UIComponentTag.java:244).......
and so much more to add to the error....
I wonder why it is giving such an error......

somebody please come up with a suggestion to eliminate the error...

Regards
Jyothi.

hi,
sorry but I did not get you....
If u are talking about the browser url then it would be
http://localhost:8080/example

and soon as this is typed it looks for the welcome page and sees the jsf tags in thepage such as f:view and it is giving the null pointer exception as i have mentioned earlier.

It would be helpful to post your complete code for the page.

I have try your page under the following environment and it works.
1. tomcat5.0 with web services capability.
2. jsf 1.1 maintenance release

I accessed the jsf page using http://yourserver:8080/test/faces/yourpage.jsp.
If you directly access the page without going through the faces servlet, you will get a "Cannot find FacesContext" exception.

You got me right. If your welcome page has *.jsp extension, the exception is expected. The jsf pages (pages that contain jsf tags) cannot call directly without Faces Servlet Mapping.
