[Woody] Upload widget causes NPE

           Summary: [Woody] Upload widget causes NPE
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: Current CVS 2.1
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://localhost:8888/samples/woody/upload
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: CocoonForms
        AssignedTo: dev@cocoon.apache.org
        ReportedBy: u.cei@cbim.it


The Upload sample in Woody fails with the following stacktrace:

Original Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at
org.apache.cocoon.woody.formmodel.AbstractWidget.validate(AbstractWidget.java:188)
	at org.apache.cocoon.woody.formmodel.Upload.validate(Upload.java:151)

I've applied the following change to line 188 of AbstractWidget.java in my local
copy:

        if (this.definition != null && !this.definition.validate(this, context)) {

but I don't know enough about validation to understand why "this.definition" is
null in the first place.
