Hi all,
We’ve been running Openfire for a while, and I’ve been asked to look into solutions similar to what FastPath does, so I thought I’d get fastpath going and try that first. However, when I go to setup the webclient (from the fastpath->tools tab in the admin interface), I get the following error 500 and stack trace:

At first glance I thought it was the same as some other problems people had reported setting up the fastpath webchat, but upon looking at the traces a little closer, most of those complained about a missing Java compiler, whereas mine seems to be compiling things fine, only to run into a null pointer exception.
I’m running Java 1.5.0_14-b03 (from packages) on Debian/etch. Does anyone have any idea what’s causing this problem?
