Dear Marvin, Thank you so much for your response!!!!
This information that you are providing is really essential for me. Thank you. No, I was not using any CAS client. I was figuring out if I should test the SAML support using a client or just assume things should be fine and jump directly to integrate the SAML-aware-application, given the fact that my new CAS 3.3.1 is working fine using the CAS protocol. There is another reply to my email by Julien that gave me the key information to do the SAML testing under Firefox, without having to go for any "real" client. I have already tested my CAS using these steps, AND IT IS WORKING FINE :-))) I will take a look to the CAS Client. Thank you for confirming that the exception is caused because the parameters have not been properly provided and not necessarily because of another kind of deeper-error. Thank you!!!!!! unai On Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:05:58 -0500, Marvin Addison <[email protected]> wrote: >> 2009-03-04 14:50:43,318 ERROR >> [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/cas].[cas]] >> - <Servlet.service() for servlet cas threw exception> >> java.lang.NullPointerException >> at >> org.jasig.cas.web.view.Saml10FailureResponseView.renderMergedOutputModel(Saml10FailureResponseView.java:38) >> at >> org.springframework.web.servlet.view.AbstractView.render(AbstractView.java:257) >> at >> org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.render(DispatcherServlet.java:1183) >> at >> org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.doDispatch(DispatcherServlet.java:902) >> ... > > The error above is caused by failing to meet both of the following > criteria: > > 1.
