Hi Alex
I tested exactly the same scenario as yours
What I found out:
1. subject.getPrincipals(PrincipalCollection.class) is never null (even
with a newly created repository)
2. Perhaps your src does not match jar's?
3. If you dont assign any rights for this repository there will be an
exception on line 259
- permissionList = acl.getList(); // here acl is null
resulting in an NullPointerException
I have fixed this part so it sets a an empty initialized permissionList
if no rights are assigned to this repository.
Try again with the fresh build from svn I am sure your code either not
in sync or ( something really weird ;) )
regards,
- Sameer

Hi!
I am trying to figure out a NPE that is occuring on my system:
[trace]
[ERROR][servlets.EntryServlet] (20.10.2005 22:54:02)

[/trace]
The scenario is quite complex to reproduce it:
1/ I have created through repository.xml a new repository
2/ I have registered it inside Config to be displayed in the menu
3/ for the beginning (just playing) I have set the AdminTreeConfig to
display it
Upon a new started Tomcat instance while firstly accessing this new
menu item (so accessing the underlying new created repository) it
results in the above exception.
What is real strange is that upon the second access to this menu item
the exception doesn't happen again.
The code throwing it is:
[code]
Set principalSet =
subject.getPrincipals(PrincipalCollection.class);
Iterator it = principalSet.iterator();
PrincipalCollection principals = (PrincipalCollection)
it.next();
ACL acl = (ACL) principals.get(repositoryID + "_" +
workspaceID);
permissionList = acl.getList();
[/code]
the principalSet is null.
If I am not completely wrong the Subject gets populated inside the
JCRLoginModule (as this seems the one configured by Magnolia), and I
cannot see any reason (at least at the moment for this to happen.
Do you have any ideas?

ps: I have logged in as superuser, but I haven't set any permissions
against the new created repository.
The weirdness continued:
debuggin in the above piece of code
(SessionAccessControl.createRepositorySession):
the above piece is executed for website/default, config/default and
newscentral/default. in all cases the same Subject is retrieved from
Authentication.getSubject(request) (identified by its hashCode()).
However only when accessing the newscentral/default one (the new
repository) even if the content of Subject is good the call
subject.getPrincipals(PrincipalCollection.class) returns null.
I must confess that this is over my understanding for the moment. Can
anybody put some light on it?
tones of thanks
