    Jboss 5 Strange Login Issues with WebAuthenticate

    yoblin

      I'm porting a login system from Jboss 4 to Jboss 5 and having a strange issue. When the login credentials are wrong, everything works fine (no exceptions, login fails), but when the login credentials are correct the user is authenticated fine but then an exception is thrown after the user is authenticated:

      I don't see how the application policy is possibly null, because the whole thing works great when the credentials are wrong, and I can see my login extension getting called.

      Below I have the relevant code and config files.
