Hi.

I'm using zk CE 6.5.2 and Shiro 1.2.2. I'm using Jetty8 Maven plugin (for development), but it also happens on Tomcat7 (Continuous Integration) when deployed.

When doing the following:

SecurityUtils.getSubject().logout();
Executions.sendRedirect("/");

I get a NullPointerException dialog in zk, before the redirect kicks in. I get the following error in my log:

org.zkoss.zk.ui.impl.UiEngineImpl handleError:1359 SEVERE: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.zkoss.zk.ui.AbstractComponent.getAttachedUiEngine(AbstractComponent.java:337) at org.zkoss.zk.ui.AbstractComponent.disableClientUpdate(AbstractComponent.java:1765) at org.zkoss.zul.Popup.service(Popup.java:177) at org.zkoss.zk.ui.impl.DesktopImpl.service(DesktopImpl.java:701) at org.zkoss.zk.ui.impl.UiEngineImpl.execUpdate(UiEngineImpl.java:1201) at org.zkoss.zk.au.http.DHtmlUpdateServlet.process(DHtmlUpdateServlet.java:600) at org.zkoss.zk.au.http.DHtmlUpdateServlet.doGet(DHtmlUpdateServlet.java:482) at org.zkoss.zk.au.http.DHtmlUpdateServlet.doPost(DHtmlUpdateServlet.java:491) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:755) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:848) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHolder.handle(ServletHolder.java:643) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1331) at org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.AbstractShiroFilter.executeChain(AbstractShiroFilter.java:449) at org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.AbstractShiroFilter$1.call(AbstractShiroFilter.java:365) at org.apache.shiro.subject.support.SubjectCallable.doCall(SubjectCallable.java:90) at org.apache.shiro.subject.support.SubjectCallable.call(SubjectCallable.java:83) at org.apache.shiro.subject.support.DelegatingSubject.execute(DelegatingSubject.java:383) at org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.AbstractShiroFilter.doFilterInternal(AbstractShiroFilter.java:362) at org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.OncePerRequestFilter.doFilter(OncePerRequestFilter.java:125) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1302) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doHandle(ServletHandler.java:448) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:131) at org.eclipse.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:524) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doHandle(SessionHandler.java:231) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doHandle(ContextHandler.java:1067) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doScope(ServletHandler.java:377) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doScope(SessionHandler.java:192) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doScope(ContextHandler.java:1001) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:129) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandlerCollection.handle(ContextHandlerCollection.java:250) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerCollection.handle(HandlerCollection.java:149) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:111) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server.handle(Server.java:360) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.AbstractHttpConnection.handleRequest(AbstractHttpConnection.java:454) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.AbstractHttpConnection.content(AbstractHttpConnection.java:900) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.AbstractHttpConnection$RequestHandler.content(AbstractHttpConnection.java:954) at org.eclipse.jetty.http.HttpParser.parseNext(HttpParser.java:851) at org.eclipse.jetty.http.HttpParser.parseAvailable(HttpParser.java:235) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.AsyncHttpConnection.handle(AsyncHttpConnection.java:77) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.nio.SelectChannelEndPoint.handle(SelectChannelEndPoint.java:622) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.nio.SelectChannelEndPoint$1.run(SelectChannelEndPoint.java:46) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool.runJob(QueuedThreadPool.java:603) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool$3.run(QueuedThreadPool.java:538) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)

Not having 1500 reputation, I cannot create the actual tags "Shiro" and "Redirect".

I'm guessing this means that Shiro's Subject.logout() method does something to the session that zk doesn't expect. Since none of my classes are involved in provoking this error, does anyone have any ideas what to do about this?
