I have created a Web application using JSF+Icefaces+Richfaces+Primefaces.It is working great while I run it from eclipse as a project but When I created its WAR file and deployed in GlassFish Server then while rendering a page it is throwing this exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: WriteText method cannot write null text

I searched but didn't get any good solution.A quick help is highly appreciated


Edit:1
I think this would be the relevant part for this

                        <li class="page_item" id="liMasterSearch">      <!-- this is for hide (<li class="page_item hide" id="liMasterSearch"> applied to every class) -->
                            <h:commandLink value="Search" action="#{masterRenderBean.showSimpleSearch}"></h:commandLink>
                        </li>

                        <li class="page_item" id="liAdvanceSearch">
                            <h:commandLink value="Advance Search" action="#{masterRenderBean.showADVS}"></h:commandLink>
                        </li>

Here you can see two links (1) Search and (2) Advance Search
when I click on Search , It shows search page (By rendering-Actually I have included all pages in masterpage and render them on commandlink functions)

 <h:panelGroup rendered="#{not masterRenderBean.simpleSearch}">
            <ui:include src="../../WebPages/SearchPages/MasterSearch.xhtml"></ui:include>
            </h:panelGroup>

But When I click on Advance Search link (on which this part should render)

<h:panelGroup rendered="#{not masterRenderBean.advs}">  
        <ui:include src="../../WebPages/SearchPages/PersonalAdvanceSearch.xhtml"/>
        </h:panelGroup>

The browser show the above exception.
NOTE: Keep in mind that this problem is occurring in deploying.It is not coming in actual application when I run it from eclipse from code

EDIT:2 I found in server logs that this exception is coming due to acefaces and this portion of code

<ace:autoCompleteEntry id="txtplaceofbirth"
                                      rows="10" autocomplete="false" 
                                        minChars="2" width="150" 
                                        value="#{inputPersonal.selectedplcofBirth}" 
                                        filterMatchMode="none"  
                                       valueChangeListener="#{inputPersonal.valueChangeEventCity}">
                                        <f:selectItems value="#{inputPersonal.cities}"/>

                                        </ace:autoCompleteEntry></h:outputFormat>

is messing up.Any idea Why this is hapening?
