I am running jBoss Portal 2.4.1 on a client site, and have a problem with a null pointer in the getTheme method.
A user set the portal theme to 'no selection' and I now get the following error:
Exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException

... (I have not posted the full error, but can if required).
I have read the forums and see I can fix this by removing the portal database, which will cause the default settings to return.
However, I have user details in the database, and am wondering if there is any way to reset the theme without blowing away all users. I also used the default databse rather than set up a new one via Hibernate (i.e. it runs on HSQL).
Really hoping there is an altertnative.
