Thanks Byron, Yes, the error is being generated by the checkpw method. Since the method is working as written, I don't think that moving the checkpw call to a set statement will alleviate the issue. When it decides to fail, it fails using the exact same credentials call from the client side, so I know that it is not an issue of incorrect values being passed in. Also, even with the more granular error checking, if the checkpw method decided to start failing, I would ultimately receive the ambiguous NullPointerException error. I may add the additional tests once the app goes live, since I won't be dealing with controlled data, but I don't think that it will benefit me with this current issue.
I am trying the application scoped suggestion as offered by Russ, since I know that I can refresh that variable even if the webservice is cached somewhere else. So far it has not failed again, so I am hoping that it solved the issue. Thanks again for you input Byron.
