I'm getting a NullPointerException thrown when I boot up one of any Tomcat
base instances. The odd thing is is that it doesn't throw the exception as
long as I'm running Tomcat from $CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ROOT but will if the
Tomcat instance is running from $CATALINA_BASE\webapps\ROOT
where $CATALINA_HOME=C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0
and $CATALINA_BASE=C:\contexts\fooHere's the stack trace:
Anyways, it seems to originate from the commons-logging package and the
author of the security filter, which implements the logging, also suggested
the bug lies in commons-logging. Any thoughts? Here's the stack trace that
appears in my localhost_log:

Anyone know what's going on here? I'm using TC 4.0.4, j2sd1.4.0_01, win2000.
The security filter is a project from sourceforge.net and is a psuedo
container managed security system.
Thanks.
Dan
