Krzysztof Borgul created SEAMSECURITY-149: --------------------------------------------- Summary: IdentityImpl.runAs causes NullPointerException Key: SEAMSECURITY-149 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMSECURITY-149 Project: Seam Security Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Final Reporter: Krzysztof Borgul Priority: Critical When you invoke runAs method and systemOp field is null (it's default situation) it will create new ThreadLocal object with initial value equals null. Next value of thread local will be got and autounboxed it into boolean type. This causes NPE because it cast null value into boolean type. You can fix it replacing: {code} boolean savedSystemOp = systemOp.get(); {code} by {code} boolean savedSystemOp = systemOp.get(); {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
