I'm running this project on intellij with tomcat 9

This is a mixed flavor of Springboot and JSF

I bearly have any issue in dev mode but as soon as I take the war file and import it to tomcat server (deployment) I begin to experience issue

  1. Running the project from the springboot startup doesnt work, I get the FaceContext must not be Null issue.
  2. Using an external tomcat (see image) the projects runs just fine though moving the war to a staging tomcat environment the project then fails.
