My setup is as follows: I've got a filter that I wrote "SecurityFilter". I setup the web.xml file to contain: <filter> <filter-name>SecurityFilter</filter-name> <filter-class> com.cdi.security.http.filters.SecurityFilter </filter-class> <init-param> <param-name>security_bundle</param-name> <param-value>application</param-value> </init-param> </filter> Everything looks ok at this point, no problems parsing anything on startup. Ok, in my filter code I've got the following (in the init method): String bundleName = "application"; try { bundleName = filterConfig.getInitParameter( BUNDLE_PARAMETER ); } catch( Exception e ) { Log.log( Log.WARNING, this, "init()", "Exception: " + e ); } Where "BUNDLE_PARAMETER" is set to "security_bundle". Again this all see right, at least I don't see any errors. However when I go to init I get a null pointer exception on the attempt to retrieve the init-parameter. I've run it through my debugger and it'd definitely occurring in this try/catch block, but I don't have a clue why. Does anyone have any idea why? --mikej -=----- mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
