The regression in 2.2 is caused by a spec update to UIViewRoot.getViewMap(boolean): that map is now backed by the session, which is not available during startup (which was addressed by MYFACES-3116): https://javaserverfaces.java.net/docs/2.2/javadocs/javax/fac es/component/UIViewRoot.html#getViewMap%28boolean%29 This issue is resolved in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4010
