JSF + JBOSS 6.0 + Linux + java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null source

Question

We are using Jboss 6.1.0 in our local Windows development environment using faces version 2.1.19. The application that we use works perfectly fine. However, when we promote our code to the testing environment which is Linux with JBoss 6.0 server which uses faces version "2.0.2.Final-redhat-1", we are getting the error

"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null source".

Complete stack trace is pasted below. The server does not provide more information than this and we are finding it hard to debug. Any advice/help on this would be great.

The issue appears when I click a button on the page which in turn makes an AJAX call.

The best solution is to ensure that every field in the XHTML field has a name and id associated with it. The issue in my case was that some of the input hidden fields did not have a name associated with it and request parameter was sent without a key. This caused the page to not render successfully — user2253556
