Can you do a little debugging and find out exactly what is throwing the NPE?

Hi Bruce,

Well, I tried "password", and got the appended exception.  As I see a 
lot of apache and singlesign-on stuff in their, my guess is that 
babeldoc is  using some apache authentication stuff that is in conflict 
with the single-sign on stuff that I have set up for the website.  Also 
you mentioned that this is done through com.babeldoc.core.simple, 
and "simple" was the class not found when I had the jar conflict with 
commons-digester.  So perhaps the null pointer is for simple?

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Bill
