Re: [jira] Created: (PLUTO-477) PortletRequestImpl throws a NullPointerException when getting USER_INFO for unauthenticated users

[Eric Dalquist]

For this issue is the check something Pluto should be doing itself? My assumption here would be that if getRemoteUser() returns null the user is not authenticated. If we need to delegate that check to the portal via the call to the UserInfoService that works too just wondering if it is even worth doing the call if there is no remote user.

                 Key: PLUTO-477
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-477
             Project: Pluto
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: portlet container
            Reporter: Eric Dalquist
             Fix For: 1.1.5


PLT.17.2 states:
    If the request is done in the context of an un-authenticated user, calls to 
the getAttribute method of the request using the USER_INFO constant must return 
null.

Currently the PortletRequestImpl.createUserInfoMap() does not handle the case 
of UserInfoService.getUserInfo returning null for an unauthenticated user and 
will throw a NullPointerException in this case.
