Sorry to not answer this question direct, and I am sure the
Java gurus will help, but... why do you need this Action at
all, when you can use the SessionPropagatorAction to
store user info into the sitemap for access by any pipeline, or
use the session-context to retrieve user info for protected
pipelines ?

Hi all,
I get a NullPointerException in my GetRolesAction, hope somebody of you
guys
can help me.
With my action I want to make the user roles available to the sitemap.
The
roles are stored in the Authentication Context.
All I want to do is read out the roles from the Authentication context
and
put it in the map that is returned to the sitemap.
However I get a NullPointerException when retrieving the
authentication
context.
I "followed" the exception to the Class AuthenticationContextProvider.
I
guess the problem is that the ServiceManager is not initialized, but
is
null.
How can I make my Code working? Do I have to call the service() method
of
the AuthenticationContextProvider to set the serviceManager instance??
Thanks alot for bringing light into my darkness,
Regards,
Stephanie
