#10 <acegijsf:authentication operation="username"/> returns null

[Aron]

Calling

<acegijsf:authentication operation="username"/>

on a jsp, when the user is not authenticated yet (so no username is net in acegis security context), causes a NullPointerException because the username is null.

Instead an empty string should be returned in that case.

The bugfix in class "net.sf.jsfcomp.acegijsf.Authentication" would be:

change:

public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) throws IOException {
ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
if (getOperation().equals("username")) {
String username = getRequest().getRemoteUser();
writer.write(username);
}
}

to

public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) throws IOException {
ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
if (getOperation().equals("username")) {
String username = getRequest().getRemoteUser();
if(null == username){
username="";
}
writer.write(username);
}
}
