[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - request.isUserInRole() returns NULL in Jboss 5, beta 4.

I'm experiencing a NPE in Jboss 5 when I try to check the request for a specific role. Example code below: if (request.isUserInRole("Employee")) System.out.println("not employee role"); else System.out.println("employee role"); } returns: java.lang.NullPointerException org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JBossWebRealm.hasRole(JBossWebRealm.java:528) org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.isUserInRole(Request.java:2184) This is through the container performing the authentication. The same method works fine under Jboss 4.0.3SP1, but migrating to Jboss 5 gives this error. I know my roles are available, as accessing role information through SecurityAssociation works fine. Any help would be appreciated. I'm unsure if this is a configuration error, or an error in Jboss 5. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4145586#...
