Hi, I am getting this error and I have seen this problem mentioned a few times in the mailing list archives but haven't seen a solution.
This is my configuration: Mandrake 8.1 The combined download of JBoss 2.2.2 and Tomcat 3.2.2 Cocoon 2.0rc2 and Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_01, mixed mode) When I access http://localhost:8080/cocoon I get the error: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.tomcat.security.JBossSecurityMgrRealm.authenticate(JBossSecurityMgrRealm.java:113) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.doAuthenticate(ContextManager.java:837) at org.apache.tomcat.core.RequestImpl.getRemoteUser(RequestImpl.java:341) at org.apache.tomcat.facade.HttpServletRequestFacade.getRemoteUser(HttpServletRequestFacade.java:251) at org.apache.cocoon.environment.http.HttpRequest.getRemoteUser(HttpRequest.java:128) at org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon.debug(Cocoon.java:431) at org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon.process(Cocoon.java:512) at org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet.service(CocoonServlet.java:592) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:405) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:287) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:372) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java:797) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:743) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java:213) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:416) at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:501) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) If I look at the logs from jboss I see: [J2EE Deployer Default] Starting module cocoon.war [Auto deploy] deploy, ctxPath=/cocoon, warUrl=file:/home/jamess/tools/jboss/JBoss-2.2.2_Tomcat-3.2.2/jboss/tmp/deploy/Default/cocoon.war/web1003/ 2001-11-26 08:23:42 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( /cocoon ) [Auto deploy] AbstractWebContainer.parseWebAppDescriptors, Begin [Auto deploy] addEnvEntries [Auto deploy] linkResourceRefs [Auto deploy] linkEjbRefs [Auto deploy] linkSecurityDomain [Auto deploy] Binding security/securityMgr to NullSecurityManager [Auto deploy] AbstractWebContainer.parseWebAppDescriptors, End [Auto deploy] Loading catalog: /path/to/local/catalog [Auto deploy] Loading catalog: /home/jamess/tools/jboss/JBoss-2.2.2_Tomcat-3.2.2/jboss/tmp/deploy/Default/cocoon.war/web1003/resources/entities/catalog [Auto deploy] Initialized: {WebApplication: /home/jamess/tools/jboss/JBoss-2.2.2_Tomcat-3.2.2/jboss/tmp/deploy/Default/cocoon.war/web1003/, URL: file:/home/jamess/tools/jboss/JBoss-2.2.2_Tomcat-3.2.2/jboss/tmp/deploy/Default/cocoon.war/web1003/, classLoader: AdaptiveClassLoader( ):910434} [J2EE Deployer Default] J2EE application: file:/home/jamess/tools/jboss/JBoss-2.2.2_Tomcat-3.2.2/jboss/deploy/cocoon.war is deployed.
