Re: NullPointerException on container update

Hi,

In the source code this fails on :

        theContainer = jahiaContentContainerFacade.getContainer (
                entryLoadRequest, true);

Somehow jahiaContentContainerFace is not properly initialized on your 
system. Do you have a scenario to reproduce this ? Basically it might be 
some kind of session problem, as this object is retrieved from the 
session. Do you have a special configuration in terms of firewall / 
cookie management ?

Regards,
  Serge Huber.
