Re: Problems with Opera, Struts and Session Management?

[Michael McGrady]

No, this is not correct, Rick.  The null pointer is for the reference to 
the Layout object in the session, which in fact is there.  When I have the 
index page check to see if the object is there, Opera does not have a 
problem on OTHER pages.  Odd?  It is as if the placement of that object in 
the session does not happen with Opera unless you check that it has 
happened.  BUT THAT IS ABSURD.  Opera has no knowledge of any of this.  RIght?

With Opera, the Layout object referenced as layout1 here is not set in 
the session on my index page.  This difficulty is overcome by putting 
code in to log that the Layout object has been put into the session.
That mystifies me.  Any demystification chiefs on this one?
I'm still a bit confused. I'm guessing the NPE is coming from not being 
able to find the forward created by the layout1.layout + "_" + path 
section? Setting it up like:

String forwardName = layout1.layout + "_" + path;
log.debug( forwardname );
return new ActionForward( forwardName );
I'd be curious if that forwardName looks the same under all situations? 
Are you sure you are following the exact same steps for each browser after 
bouning the server? In otherwords, maybe you aren't getting the NPE on 
netscape/IE because you are having layout1.layout set into Session scope 
at some other point that you aren't doing when testing with Opera? Using 
Session vars for this seems a bit odd anyway. Could you avoid using 
layout1.layout as Session attribute?
