User Registration - addUser

[Terry McBride <tt...@yahoo.com>]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to write an action for registering users. 
I'm including the simple dev version I'm starting
with.  I get null pointer exceptions with
accountExists() and addUser().  Get somebody clue me
in to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Terry

code and log follows......

    public void doPerform(RunData data, Context
context)
        throws Exception
    {
	    Log.info("Registering a new user");
	        TurbineUser user = new TurbineUser();
		DBSecurityService dbum = new DBSecurityService();

		// get the parameters passed in
		String fName =
data.getParameters().get("FirstName");
		String lName = data.getParameters().get("LastName");
		String uName = data.getParameters().get("UserName");
		String email = data.getParameters().get("Email");
		String password =
data.getParameters().get("Password");

		Log.debug("parameterParser: " +
data.getParameters());
		Log.debug("local vars: " + uName + password + fName
+ lName + email);
		
		// set the properties
		user.setFirstName(fName);
		user.setLastName(lName);
		user.setUserName(uName);
		user.setEmail(email);

	    Log.info("checking for user: " + uName);
		// check if username already exists
		try 
		{
			if (dbum.accountExists(uName))
			{
				data.setMessage("A user with this user name
already exsits.  Please choosea nother name");
				data.setScreenTemplate("RegistrationForm.vm");
				return;
			}
		}
		catch (Exception e)
		{
			Log.error("Error checking in username pre-exists",
e);
		}
		
		// store the user info
	    Log.info("Attempting to create user: " + uName);
		dbum.addUser(user, password);

		// assign role
		Group group = dbum.getGlobalGroup();
		Role role = dbum.getRole("curriculum_editor");
		dbum.grant(user, group, role);

		// authenticate
		dbum.getAuthenticatedUser(uName, password);
		Log.debug("created account: " + user);
        
    }
