Help: C2 - Java exception

[Matteo Villa <mv...@prosolutions.de>]

Hi everybody,

I want to emulate the example "protected" on C2 (latest CVS downloaded
on 20010806).
The example itself breaks after login (Donald Ball) with
----

Background Infos:
C2 on WNT SP 6 with Tomcat 3.3
Oracle 8.1.5 EE on NT
Web Server is IIS 4.x
Connectivity to Oracle works

Question is: what's wrong ?

Could anyone help me ? I need the Validation stuff to work !!!!

Another info: I got this error also with previous CVS of C2. I noticed
the source has been changed exactly at that point
(SessionValidatorAction.java:136). But still the effect (error) remains.
Maybe I am doing something wrong ?

Thanks in advance!
Cheers
