Sorry, I didn't read your stacktrace properly :)

Are there any other exceptions logged in the log files?

Could you also check that coefficient correctly inserted the default
data (i.e. see what data you have in tables coefficient_role,
coefficient_user, etc). See:
src/za/org/coefficient/util/ejb/DataLoaderUtil.java
(which is used by the HibernateUtil to load the default data)

It looks like usersHighestRole is null in
Configuration.canExecuteForRole(...) 
This should not be null, because it is set to
SecurityUtil.getRoleForDescription(GUEST_ROLE_DESC)
which can only be null if:
 - the default data wasn't properly loaded, or
 - the data could not be read from the db (unlikely)

In either case, an exception should be logged (although, in the first
case, this would have been at db init/creation time, and possibly
overwritten in the logs).

If the problem is that default data is missing, you could try dropping
the database and restarting tomcat, so that hibernate will recreate the
tables (and reload the data).
