Faces.getLocale throws NPE if FacesContext is null

If FacesContext is null, then you're not using it in JSF context. OmniFaces is designed as JSF utility library and it's expected that you use it in JSF context.

Wow your fast :-)
Yeah I know, but sometimes i use Converter, Renderer etc... from outside of the JSF Context and now I always have to check for FacesContext ==null. I already wrote my own Util class to do this but having a Utility Class for a Utility Class kind of beats the concept ;-)

That you use a JSF converter/renderer outside the JSF context indicates a design problem. You'd better refactor the needed code logic outside the converter/renderer to a JSF-independent class, so that it can in turn be shared/reused by both the JSF converter/renderer and the other thing outside JSF context.

Not an OmniFaces problem, so I'll close the ticket.

ok I'll consider moving the actual render logic into a shared utility class, thanks.
