NPE thrown while accessing Hybris custom b2c_acc_responsive storefront

This issue seems to have plagued Hybris commerce suite right from version 5.6 to the most recent version 5.7.0.5, There have been several solutions being discussed on the hybris expert forums to workaround the issue. However, I wanted to share the official answer from SAP to workaround this error.

>install.bat -r b2c_acc_responsive  
>ant all  
>ant modulegen -Dinput.module=accelerator -Dinput.name=myb2c -Dinput.package=org.myb2c  

Navigate to

https://localhost:9002/myb2cstorefront/electronics/en/?site=electronics

Workaround for the issue

3 properties should be added for the custom storefront in local.properties

1. myb2cstorefront.additionalWebSpringConfigs.liveeditaddon=classpath:/liveeditaddon/web/spring/liveeditaddon-storefront-web-spring.xml  
2. cmsPageBeforeViewHandler=org.myb2c.storefront.interceptors.beforeview.CmsPageBeforeViewHandler  
3. uiThemeResourceBeforeViewHandler=org.myb2c.storefront.interceptors.beforeview.UiThemeResourceBeforeViewHandler  
4. 
   

after that, please do  'ant clean all', and restart hybris server

Navigate to

https://localhost:9002/myb2cstorefront/electronics/en/?site=electronics

A defect has been logged with hybris to fix this issue in version 5.7, until the fix is available you may use the workaround provide by SAP to circumvent this error.
