#8 NPE at posting edit to news article

[Darren Torpey]

From the main page, I click on My Tasks (I am auto-
logged in from my home computer, which I am using
now)
Then 'edit news article' (and I select Code Monkeys
Summer...)
Then the screen comes up displaying the article (it's
summary, brief, and full versions in their text areas).
Now...whether or not I make an edit, when I click
on "Submit" I get a Null Pointer Exception

with the beginning of the stack trace reading:

java.lang.NullPointerException

this was due to either a session timeout or the fact that
the Cocoon session cookie's path has changed within the last
hour from "/cocoon" to "/".
