createComponent HtmlCommandLink generating ServletException

[fischman_98 <mf...@powerconsultantsinc.com>]

Trying to dynamically create a command link...any thoughts?  Doesn't seem to
be catching an exception in the setter....but it's not getting rendered. 
Thanks.

In the JSP
<h:form>
	<t:commandLink binding="#{exploreBean.lightboxCLink}"></t:commandLink>
</h:form>

In the Bean:
private HtmlCommandLink lightboxCLink;

public void setLightboxCLink(HtmlCommandLink l) {
	lightboxCLink = l;
}

public HtmlCommandLink getLightboxCLink() {
		
	if (lightboxCLink == null) {
		try {
			lightboxCLink = (HtmlCommandLink)
getApplication().createComponent(HtmlCommandLink.COMPONENT_TYPE);
			lightboxCLink.setId("test");
			lightboxCLink.setAction(getApplication().createMethodBinding(
					"#{exploreBean.getJumpLinkText}", null));
			lightboxCLink.setValue("Hello");
		} catch (NullPointerException npe) {
			System.out.println("NullPointerException");
			npe.printStackTrace();
		} catch (FacesException fe) {
			System.out.println("FacesException");
			fe.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
	return lightboxCLink;
}
