Subject: Re: TomEE/MyFaces: EL exception NulPointerException for
 h:selectOneMenu

Hi

If @PostConstruct, there is no error in MyFaces or Tomcat. I think the bug
is hidden in the application logic. Check the code related to p:ajax. If
a component is not executed (do the lifecycle over it) and is rendered,
the null could be added without notice. You need to be sure that all
the components involved in your logic are executed before render them.

regards,

Leonardo
