Hi Patrick, Thanks for the response, but I am a little confused by your response.
I "discovered" this fix by tracing the source of a null pointer exception. (i.e. as opposed to documentation) I know this is (probably?) a hack and that I am missing something here, but I am not sure what. Just wanted a heads up from someone who knows about how 1.1 works. The main confusing bit is that <% new PortalEnvironment(request, response); %> has only request/response dependencies and could have been handled via a filter perhaps? Anyways, my question was essentially: "Is this a hack? If so, what am I doing wrong?"
