> Whenever I use a portal that supports using portlets without logging in first I get a NullPointerException in the PortletInvokerImpl when it tries to get the remoteUser variable from the incoming request. The request has:
>    <userContext xsi:nil="true" />
> and so the getUserContext returns null.
> The simple fix is to null protect the check in BOTH the markup and blocking action calls as in the following before and after:
> // before
> String remoteUser = request.getUserContext().getUserContextKey();
> // after
> String remoteUser = "";
> UserContext userCtx = request.getUserContext();
> if( userCtx != null )
>     remoteUser = userCtx.getUserContextKey();
