Openfaces 3.0 running in WebSphere 7

Question

Has anyone around gotten Openfaces 3.0 to run on WebSphere 7.0?

I keep on getting the following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at javax.faces.application.ResourceWrapper.getRequestPath(ResourceWrapper.java:118)
at org.openfaces.application.OpenFacesResource.getRequestPath(OpenFacesResource.java:36)
at org.openfaces.util.Resources.getInternalURL(Resources.java:133)
at org.openfaces.util.Resources.getUtilJsURL(Resources.java:234)
at org.openfaces.util.UtilPhaseListener.appendHeaderContent(UtilPhaseListener.java:60)
at org.openfaces.application.OpenFacesApplication.headAddedToView(OpenFacesApplication.java:79)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I don't do OpenFaces/Websphere, so I can't go in detail about this, but given the fact that ResourceWrapper#getRequestPath() delegates as per its source code the call as follows

return getWrapped().getRequestPath();

Where ResourceWrapper#getWrapped() is an abstract method which is to be implemented properly by the implementor. Given the trace, it's the org.openfaces.application.OpenFacesResource which is incorrectly returning null on getWrapped().

What the underlying cause is, is unclear since I don't have the hands on OpenFaces source code directly. I'd start by reporting this issue to the OpenFaces guys on their forum and/or issue tracker.
