Java Development Tools

Hi,

I'm trying to run an ADF page (My2BiTest.jspx) in a fresh project (a new Generic Project). The only page content I have is an embedded BI report. The page fails and throws the following Nullpointer Exception, stack trace included below.

This Nullpointer Exception occurs because FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() == null.

From the Fusion Developer's Guide for ADF 11g, in Chap. 19 (Understanding the Fusion Page Lifecycle):
I see that in Step 2 in Figure 19-1, "Find or Create Binding Context for Session," the ADFBindingFilter object looks for the binding context and if not there, initializes it. From the stack trace, it seems that the FacesContext is not being initialized by the ADFBindingFilter object:

at weblogic.servlet.internal.FilterChainImpl.doFilter(FilterChainImpl.java:56)
at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext$ServletInvocationAction.run(WebAppServletContext.java:3584)

Could you please help with a possible reason and solution for this?

Thanks in advance,
Monica
