We use a custome DesktopInit implementation that will trigger initialization of a spring bean, this bean wires other beans over an @Autowired annotation and will trigger the above exception while it tries to autowire by type.
The method ZkComponentFactoryBean.getObject0(...) should return null if ((ExecutionCtrl)exec).getCurrentPage() returns null
