Description

The following are the stack traces I received. It seemed to be intermittent. I think another bug occurred in Dynamic Faces related to GlassFish restoring session state across server restarts. After deserialization, transient variables were not restored... I don't know if something similar is happenning here, but could be.

I had accidentally missed the Dynamic Faces init parameter... I thought it was related to that (note standard lifecycle above). But after installing the init-param, clearing the generated directory in GF, and restarting the whole server... I still had an exception from shale:

I had it working at one point, I don't know if I did something to break it or if it's intermittent. It might not be shale's fault, it may be Dynamic Faces or the app server which has an error message on startup w/ the init-parm for Dynamic Faces in place:
