NG> Hi Ed,
NG> The JSF 2.1 JavaDocs for ExternalContext#encodeNamespace(String) [1] indicate the following:
NG> * <p><em>Servlet:</em> The input value must be returned unchanged.</p>
NG> *
NG> * @param name Name to be encoded
NG> *
NG> * @throws NullPointerException if <code>name</code>
NG> * is <code>null</code>
NG> Having said that, I would like to direct your attention to issue 1137 [2]. Although the issue is marked as "Open," the JSF 2.2 JavaDocs for ExternalContext have changed the throws requirement to the following:
NG> * @throws NullPointerException <span class="changed_modified_2_2">
NG> * if running in a non-servlet environment and <code>name</code> is
NG> * <code>null</code></span>.
NG> Can you clarify as to why this requirement is now restricted to a
NG> non-servlet (portlet) environment? I think it might be best to
NG> simply remove this change from the JSF 2.2 JavaDocs and mark the
NG> 1137 issue as "WontFix".
I'm taking the matter up with the reporter.
Ed
