Nathan Bubna resolved VELTOOLS-130.
-----------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 2.x
                   2.0.x

Nice catch.  I'm sorry to admit, i've never tried ViewToolManager with 
autoconfig as true.  I just committed a fix.  You can build from the trunk or 
wait for the next release.  And no, i don't know when that will be. :)

> Invoking the constructor ViewToolManager(servletContext) always fails with an 
> NPE. The reason for this is, that it invokes super(true, true) before setting 
> the member variable servletContext with the provided servletContext.
> The parent class' constructor invokes autoConfigure(true) which invokes 
> ServletUtils.getConfiguration(servletPath). At this moment servletPath can 
> only be null as it is not set yet. And that finally leads to a NPE in the 
> first line of the getConfiguration method: 
> Object obj = application.getAttribute(CONFIGURATION_KEY);
> Workaround: Use a constructor without autoconfiguration and invoke 
> autoConfigure(true) afterwards.
> ViewToolManager vm = new ViewToolmanager(servletContext, false, false);
> vm.autoConfigure(true);
