I still haven't figured this out and am ***really***
hoping for one of you to help me, as I'm not familiar
with Cocoon's source code. The partial stack trace
I'm getting is:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.components.PipelineAuthenticator.authenticate(PipelineAuthenticator.java:290)
at
org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.components.DefaultAuthenticationManager.login(DefaultAuthenticationManager.java:238)
at
org.apache.cocoon.webapps.authentication.acting.LoginAction.act(LoginAction.java:118)
Line 118 in LoginAction.java reads:
UserHandler handler = authManager.login( handlerName,
par.getParameter("application", null),
authenticationParameters);
I've been agonizing over this for days, so I really
need the help.
