Parent is null? on myfaces when runned on websphere 6

[Jane Pereira Soares <ja...@cpm.com.br>]

Hi, 

	I have a problem when I run my application on Websphere 6. On tomcat all works fine, but on websphere not.

	I followed the instructions on http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Websphere_Installation <http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Websphere_Installation>  to install myfaces without remove the IBM jars, but doesn't work. I get the following error:

	javax.faces.FacesException: parent is null?

	Just work if I put the sun Ri jar (jsf-api-1.1.jar) on my web-inf/lib application. The problem occurs on my custom component, but on tomcat the same component works fine. I don´t have idea what's wrong with my component.

	Please, anyone have idea what's the problem? 

	Thank you for any help.
