Hello, My apologies. I found what the problem was. It was an OSGI refresh issue.
shiro-core has an optional dependency on commons-beanutils. I didn't realise this until I had already loaded the shiro bundles and had done some initial tests. When I added the commons-beanutils bundle (after realising it was now required), shiro-core didn't automatically pick up the now available commons-beanutils, thus it could not initialize my servlet correctly. To fix the problem, I needed to explicitly "refresh" the shiro-core bundle. regards, Gareth -- View this message in context: http://shiro-user.582556.n2.nabble.com/SecurityManager-Null-Issue-In-Web-App-tp6631506p6632033.html Sent from the Shiro User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
