NPE when using fastpath webchat

Openfire Openfire Support
#1

I’m running openfire with the fastpath webchat plugin (3.5.2) in its own jboss 4.2.2 container. It was up and ran fine for about half hour (with about a dozen chats) and then started throwing nullPointerExceptions when a user tried to submit a question from the fastpath client. Anyone run across this before?

Stacktrace from fastpath logs:
