Shibboleth Developers

[Peter Schober <>]

I'm trying to rebuild the IdP from java-idp-main/branches/REL_2/
(like I did saturday, without any problems). Deploying with the
default config works (coping over my working credentials, metadata,
relying party from the 2.0.0 release), only transientId is defined and
released (so no attribute statement is put in the assertion).

Now, as soon as I uncomment other attribute definitions from the
default config (e.g. uid) and uncomment a data connector (either
LDAPDirectory or RelationalDatabase, makes no difference) the IdP
throws a NPE during deployment:

14:34:52.896 - DEBUG

Any hints?
This is with Hotspot Java 1.6 and Tomcat 6.0.16.
I used 2.0.0 and compiled REL_2 on that box before without problems.
