I suspect it's in the constructor of your custom action ? If this is the case then the call to 'this.getLogger()' will return null because the Avalon component manager won't have yet enabled logging on that sitemap component (and hence your non-cocoon class won't have a logging object to log to) To fix this, implement Initializable on your custom action and add the code to create and set the logger on your non-cocoon class there. The initialize() method on your action will be called well after enableLogging() by the ComponentManager, so you should have a valid logging object then. (BTW - If the variable happened to be created at within the class (ie. not in the constructor) then an alternative could be to overload enableLogging() on your custom action and propogate the logger object there). If that's not the case, can you print out what 'this.getLogger()' returns and set us in a stacktrace of the NPE. Hope that helps.
