JSF Tomahawk tree2 - null pointer error on submit()?

Question

I've added a JSF Tomahawk t:tree2 UI component, and the page renders fine. However, as soon as I do anything on the page: click on a button that sends submit(), or press on a button with action parameter set, error is reported:

java.lang.NullPointerException

viewId=/job.xhtml
location=trunk\tce\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp1\wtpwebapps\EWC\job.xhtml
phaseId=RESTORE_VIEW(1)

Caused by:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.myfaces.custom.tree2.UITreeData.getDataModel(UITreeData.java:701)

Here is a stack trace:

The location where exception is thrown is at the beggining, the backing bean doesn't even get instantiated again:

MyFacesServlet::service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response)

The code in the xhtml page:

<h:dataTable value="#{JobMgmtBean.presetsTreesList}" var="presetsTree">
                                    <h:column>  

                                    <t:tree2  
                                              value             =   "#{presetsTree}" 
                                              var               =   "presetsTreeNode"
                                              varNodeToggler    =   "t" 
                                              showLines         =   "true" 
                                              showRootNode      =   "true"
                                              showNav           =   "true" 
                                              clientSideToggle  =   "true"
                                              preserveToggle    =   "true"> 

                                            <f:facet name="facetPresetTree">        
                                                <h:panelGroup>                  
                                                    <h:selectBooleanCheckbox     
                                                                                value               = "#{JobMgmtBean.idsT2[presetsTreeNode.identifier]}"
                                                                                title               = "#{presetsTreeNode.identifier}"
                                                                                valueChangeListener ="#{JobMgmtBean.setPresetsTreeNodeState}"
                                                                                />
                                                    <h:outputText value="#{presetsTreeNode.description}" styleClass="text"/>
                                                </h:panelGroup>                  
                                            </f:facet>
                                    </t:tree2>
                                    </h:column>
                                    </h:dataTable>

And related bean members:

protected List<TreeNodeChecked> presetsTreesList;
private HashMap<String, Boolean> idsT2;

What could be the reason?

show the code of the added tree in your jsf page... this might help (to one that familiar with that component) — Daniel, Mar 29 '12 at 07:49
isnt value = "#{presetsTree}" should be directed to getter in bean instad of bean itself? — Daniel, Mar 29 '12 at 10:40
No. Have a look at first line: var="presetsTree". So, presetsTree is not a bean, it's list of trees. — Danijel, Mar 29 '12 at 11:24
any chance that you are using request scope ? if so, just try yo change to session scope to see if that the issue... also take a look at this... http://old.nabble.com/Problem-in-Tree2%3A-nullpointer-org.apache.myfaces.custom.tree2.UITreeData.encodeEnd-td11330136.html might be similar... — Daniel, Mar 30 '12 at 20:41
