renderSubContent within Email nofifications

[Robert Gan]

hey guys,

can maybe anyone explain me the following behavior?

I created screens for the email nofication when the customer register in our web shop.

this works fine. But now I decided to move the ftl content to the cms module to make our live easier when we want to change information within the emails.

I call the content i.ex with: <@renderSubContent subContentId="EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_HEADER" />

when I render the site withe my browser (mapping through the controller) it works fine. But when I do a test, that a customer register, it fails. The following error message occurs:

6548353 [default-invoker-Thread-15] ERROR org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ModelScreen - Error rendering screen [component://content/widget/EmailScreens.xml#main-decorator-email]: java.lang.NullPointerException. Rolling back transaction.
