I am trying to run my application on WildFly8.2, which was build by using Jboss 5.1.I migrated my entire application and able to see the login page. But while navigating to JSF pages, it is throwing the below exception.
My old application is build on JSF 1.2

I am suspecting that this issue is because of my jsf or rich faces jars, however I am looking into this issue.
Please let me know if anyone knows the solution.

This is caused by the combination Seam 2.3.x and JSF 2.2. You need to either migrate Seam to DeltaSpike, which is JSF 2.2 compatible, or to downgrade Mojarra 2.2.x in WildFly to 2.1.x.
The technical problem is, Seam used an Application implementation which didn't properly extend from javax.faces.application.ApplicationWrapper and thus it had to manually implement/delegate all Application methods to the wrapped application. In case of Seam 2.3.x, all those methods were based on JSF 2.1. In JSF 2.2, a new method getFlowHandler() was added to Application, which wasn't properly delegated by Seam and thus returned null, causing all the trouble further down in the chain relying on it not being null. If Seam guys had properly extended from ApplicationWrapper instead of hardcoding all delegate methods for a specific JSF version, then it would flawlessly have worked across JSF versions.

(exactly same problem with older Weld versions) - SWF in JSF 2.2 causes java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.faces.application.NavigationHandlerImpl.determineViewFromActionOutcome
(exactly same problem with older Spring WebFlow versions)
I have identified the root cause, the issue is because of the jar version,downgraded the jar version to 2.1.29-jbossorg-1 and it worked for me.
For doing this add the jar to ${JBOSS_HOME}/modules/system/layers/base/com/sun/jsf-impl/main/ and update module.xml (available in same path) "resource-root" tag to point to the new file name.
