That's quite odd. http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=394938&message=171 3354#1713354
That thread talks about 'problems' with the Connector itself. Perhaps its worth investigating if the settings proposed there can help you.. http://www.javalobby.com/threadMode_printfriendly.jsp?forum=76&thread=63 52 That thread shows that a previous error was thrown, and then the connector threw an error. Is there anything "below" the one error? Also.. just for the heck of it... could it be a problem with finding a jdbc driver ? If you only have classes12.jar in WEB-INF/lib, would the connector be able to find it there? You'd think it would throw a ClassNotFound or other SQLException but who knows. Have you tried removing the response.encodeURL and just using j_security_check ? Finally, I think one of the reasons I used BASIC AUTH was because 2 years ago I was also having troubles with FORM Based. I seem to recall some quirky behaviour with j_security_check, and I found a link describing what I remember having trouble with. http://www.jboss.org/thread.jsp?forum=49&thread=4235 The problem description is a ways down, posted by 'svaret'. Beyond those suggestions, I'm at a loss. > -----Original Message----- > From: Rick Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 12:28 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Still need help with JDBCRealm > > > Mike Curwen wrote: > > Someone else on this list had a similar problem with NPE's being > > thrown by Coyote.
