#66 Configuration object causes NPE when servlet reloads
I believe the NullPointerExceptions that people are
complaining about happen when the servlet is reloaded
but the Configuration object is not re-inited. I see
this in JBoss 3.2.3 if I tweak my web app or an
associated mbean service. Since the cewolf.jar file is
in another service that is not auto-reloaded, the
static Configuration field configExists is not cleared
and a null config is set into the new ServletContext.
I think a safer approach is to not depend on that
configExists field at all, but to always verify that a
config exists in the servlet context in
Configuration.getInstance and create one if not.
I have attached a zip file with new CewolfRenderer.java
and Configuration.java that does this and fixes the
problems I was seeing. Hope they are useful.
