For now, I think the best strategy would be, simply, to handle the NPE more gracefully and print a useful error message.

The idea of making the policy file configurable isn't a bad one, but I don't think we need to do it now. It might indeed make sense when we have multi-wiki support, but I'd rather do it at that time.

---------------------------------------

Question: Andrew, how does this play with whatever you were planning for multiwiki support? Each wiki is going to need its own policy.

NPE When jspwiki.policy file not found in WEB-INF
-------------------------------------------------

               Key: JSPWIKI-53
               URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-53
           Project: JSPWiki
        Issue Type: Bug
        Components: Authentication&Authorization
  Affects Versions: 2.6.0
       Environment: WinXP, Tomcat 5.5
          Reporter: Dave Wolf
           Fix For: 2.6.0


In the AuthorizationManager, a call is made to AuthenticationManager.findConfigFile( engine, DEFAULT_POLICY ). If this method does not find the jspwiki.policy file, then the following line after the call will result in a NPE.
