I have a flex application using 3.x and BlazeDS 3.x that calls a servlet. In the servlet I have the following
MessageBroker msgBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null);
msgBroker.addDefaultChannel("my-channel");
AsyncMessage msg = new AsyncMessage();
msg.setDestination("vle_topic");
String clientID = UUIDUtils.createUUID();
msg.setClientId(request.getSession().getId()); //clientID);
msg.setMessageId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
msg.setTimestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
msg.setBody("servlet example event");
msgBroker.routeMessageToService(msg, null);
When the servlet is called, I get a NullPointerException with the following output in the tomcat log:
[BlazeDS] 06/23/2010 16:44:12.254 [ERROR] [Message.General] Exception when invoking service: message-service

Anybody know what is wrong? I suspect it has do with the security setup in the application. We use a custom realm and require a user to login to access the application.
Thanks,
