One user reports:

I have just installed 5.0.2 on Win XP, MySQL 5.1, and Java 1.6.

I am able to run Ontopoly, but Omnigator produces NPEs in
getScopeDecider (stack trace below) when attempting to display any of
the type indices (though the various Topic Map Overview links all work
w/o error).

The problem is that UserIF.getFilterContext() returns null, which should be 
impossible, since it's initialized in the constructor. However, there is a 
setFilterContext() method, which theoretically could be called with a null 
argument. 
However, I deleted the method, recompiled everything, and it ran just fine. So 
that 
makes it quite a mystery how this could possibly fail.

I get the same stacktrace in omnigator when trying to access Topics, but only in
special circumstances:

After starting tomcat and opening a new session in the browser, this error never
occurred to me, but when I just reload tomcat, and refresh the active session, 
I get
this error every time I want to access a topic.

btw, I have tested it with java build 1.5.0_19-b02, so it is not related to 
Java 1.6.

I was able to reproduce using the same approach, so that takes us a lot closer 
to 
the source of the problem. I'll see if I can solve this now.

The problem is that when you stop the server, then restart it and reload the 
page 
the User object is of course not created from scratch, but deserialized from 
Tomcat's persistent session storage. The filterContext is marked as transient, 
so it 
doesn't survive the transition, and therefore the User object is resurrected 
with a 
null value there, causing this bug.

Revision 583 solves this by basically rewriting the class so that the code 
handles 
the case where the object is revived with all these fields set to null. The 
constructor no longer initializes the fields, either.

Did some testing, and everything appears to still work fine, including 
filtering by 
scope.

I have experienced exactly the same with two recent installments of 5.0.2, one 
under 
XP, the other under Vista. In both cases the problem went away, I believe after 
stopping and starting the server, but possibly after increasing the memory 
allocation to Java, and has not (yet) recurred since.

I am still experiencing this issue; Ontopia version 5.0.2, Mac OS 10.5.8, 
Tomcat 6.0.18. Could it be any jar files 
that are missing in my setup? Or some configuration in web.xml or 
tm-sources.xml?

This problem was solved after we released 5.0.2. I guess we need to either 
release 
5.0.3 with this fix or get 5.1 out soon.
