hey, lot of thanks, the state field was really null because the parameters were passed to the constructor but I never saved the value...
By the reason I am a novice in tapestry, I had searched it everywhere but not in that simple way...

As a general rule, it's safer to put the literal first in statements like this: "admin".equals(user.getState()) If anyone wants to say that it looks/reads a bit funny, I'll agree. It's an odd syntax, but it protects you from NPEs. -Steve Martin Strand wrote: > Well, if you get a NPE on this line: > >>> user.getState().equals("admin") >>> > then either "user" or "getState()" is null, right? > And, since "user" is definitely not null, your private String "state" is obviously null. > > Perhaps you should add something like this: > >>> private String state = "initial state"; >>> > > > Martin > > On Tue, 12 Sep 2006 15:52:25 +0200, Michael Wölm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> Hi, >> >> Sadly, nobody have helped me with my problem.
