#107 Josso 1.8.0 - Lost Password Error

[Lívia Santos]

Hi. My name is Lívia and a week ago I started to look for a Java Single-Sign-On project so I can use it in one of my projects. I was introduced to Josso and it attends to many of may needs. I got it working on Jboss 4.2.3. but it seems that the Lost Password feature is not working property (or probably I'm messing it).

I changed the priority log for DEBUG so I get to know the error. And I get the following:

I would look it through the source code, but unfortunately it is not packaged in the josso-1.8.0-src.zip availabled at josso.org.

That error occurs when I set a valid email at http://localhost:8080/josso/selfservices/lostpassword/lostPassword.do?josso_cmd=lostPwd and click on Reset Password button. I already read the documentation about the basic configuration at http://www.josso.org/confluence/display/JOSSO1/Password+Reset+Setup and I even created a field email at josso_user table as one of the previous errors was that the josso couldn't find any column named email.

Can somebody help me figure why this error is happening or what are the possibilities?

Thanks in advance!
