I really don't know what to say about this. We have lots and lots of unit tests for ACLs, and many web unit tests that test things from the browser.

All of these tests work fine.

Unless we can devise some tests that allow reproduction of the issue, every time, it's going to be hard for me to help.

Florian, I do not doubt that you are having

Interesting... in my case, the affected pages are viewable, but

I have some "allow view all" page ACLs in the pages. Could you check
for page ACLs maybe in a backup from the time when you had the
problem? Maybe the ACLs shift somehow in memory.

This brought me to the idea of testing it without the page cache.
This is spooky...
Without cache, the error appears in another way.
* Pages appear with their correct ACLs. They were editable, but: The
 changes aren't saved!
* However, no error appears, JSPWiki is behaving as if the save action
 has been handled correctly.
* Adding comments to these pages works, but the comment itself isn't
 written into the page, only the signature.

Like Janne assumed, this could in fact be related to JSPWIKI-27.
However, the problem described there isn't that dramatic, but the
"full error" I'm describing here is pretty severe, I think.

I'm experiencing the problem with the current head of trunk (alpha-21
at the moment).

Andrew, what do you think about it? AFAIK you're the AAA expert in
here.

Florian,

I think we had similar problems in the past (unfortunately my long term
memory is bad).
The symptoms were that (mostly) the main page was not publicly accessible
anymore, only for administrators.
Looking at the source of the page, there were no ACL's on it.
The workaround for this was always Edit the page (add something to it) and
save it.
This problem occurred on average 3 times a week.

The problem was solved after an upgrade, but I don't know anymore to which version (you can see the version history on my personal page on jspwiki.org
).

We currently run 2.7.0-svn-44, and we don't have the problem anymore.

Hope this helps,
Harry
