I have created a Web application using JSF+Icefaces+Richfaces+Primefaces.It is working great while I run it from eclipse as a project but When I created its WAR file and deployed in GlassFish Server then while rendering a page it is throwing this exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: WriteText method cannot write null text
I searched but didn't get any good solution.A quick help is highly appreciated
Edit:1
I think this would be the relevant part for this
<li class="page_item" id="liMasterSearch"> <!-- this is for
hide (<li class="page_item
hide" id="liMasterSearch"> applied to every class) -->
<h:commandLink value="Search" action="#{masterRenderBean.showSimpleSearch}"></h:commandLink>
</li>
<li class="page_item" id="liAdvanceSearch">
<h:commandLink value="Advance Search" action="#{masterRenderBean.showADVS}"></h:commandLink>
</li>
Here you can see two links (1) Search and (2) Advance Search
when I click on Search , It shows search page (By rendering-Actually I have included all pages in masterpage and render them on commandlink functions)
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{not masterRenderBean.simpleSearch}">
<ui:include src="../../WebPages/SearchPages/MasterSearch.xhtml"></ui:include>
</h:panelGroup>
But When I click on Advance Search link (on which this part should render)
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{not masterRenderBean.advs}">
<ui:include src="../../WebPages/SearchPages/PersonalAdvanceSearch.xhtml"/>
</h:panelGroup>
The browser show the above exception.
NOTE: Keep in mind that this problem is occurring in deploying.It is not coming in actual application when I run it from eclipse from code
EDIT:2 I found in server logs that this exception is coming due to acefaces and this portion of code
<ace:autoCompleteEntry id="txtplaceofbirth"
rows="10" autocomplete="false"
minChars="2" width="150"
value="#{inputPersonal.selectedplcofBirth}"
filterMatchMode="none"
valueChangeListener="#{inputPersonal.valueChangeEventCity}">
<f:selectItems value="#{inputPersonal.cities}"/>
</ace:autoCompleteEntry></h:outputFormat>
is messing up.Any idea Why this is hapening?
Edit #3:
Here is the full tack trace of exception
