Description
A customer has reported an issue where they get an NPE from the DOMPartialViewContext class. They have provided an analysis of the errors and suggested some changes. This analysis is in an attach word doc.
Currently I don't have details on what is happening when this issue is thrown or a test case. This has been requested from the customer and I'll update the JIRA once I have the details.
The customer is using a patched EE 3.3.0 P02 release. I've looked at the code but I don't see any significant changes made to the code referenced.
Let me know if any other information is required.

I agree with the recommandation made by our customer of using null object pattern to make sure there's always a value returned. It makes sense since we assume that the old document is available during post-backs. But in this case the old document is null because the submit does not contain the javax.faces.ViewState parameter. This is an issue that we met and handled in the past (ICE-10266).
The applied fix does not solve the problem our customer has but points to the source of it. So now an exception is thrown instead of returning null which allows us to specify the source of the problem (the missing javax.faces.ViewState paramater).
