Description

FacesContext.getCurrentContext is null in the page following a successful login. The login is a standard JSP forms-based login. The form redirects to j_security_check as normal, then presumably it gets automatically redirected to the originally requested page. That's when the error occurs (see stack trace below). If I then refresh the page, it displays correctly.
