BackBase JSF and Weblogic Portal 10.0 Integration

Hi,

Has anyone integrated the BackBase JSF edition with Weblogic Portal 10.

I am using Weblogic Studio/Workshop 10.2 with the BackBase eclipse plugin. I am able to create JSF Applications using BackBase widgets and deploy them to the Weblogic 10.0 server. I am unable to create a portlet out of this same application. In my .portlet file, I am referring to the contentUri as index.faces/index.jsf. When I try to run this portlet I get a NPE

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.backbase.bjsf.application.BackbaseViewHandler.renderView(Unknown Source)
        at org.apache.myfaces.lifecycle.RenderResponseExecutor.execute(RenderResponseExecutor.java:41)

        at com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.content.FacesContent.beginRender(FacesContent.java:360)

I am aware of the BackBase Portal Connector, but it is to be used in tandem with JSR168 portlets. Has anyone used the Connector to integrate BackBase JSF Application with a JSF Portlet to be deployed on Weblogic Portal.

Thanks.
