Bug 793311 (JBEPP-395)

Help Desk Ticket Reference: https://na7.salesforce.com/500A0000003hTGw
project_key: JBEPP

We are running into a situation where the Independence of gatein-jcr and gatein-idm dbs is concerned.

Here is how to reproduce the issue:

1) set up gatein-jcr and gatein-idm using mysql dbs.

2) start the server and create a new user via the UI.

3) stop the server and drop the gatein-jcr db.

4) delete the data/tmp/work folders and restart the server.

5) it's ok to login into the portal using the newly created user account. but if accessing the admin portlets, for example, the OrganizationPortlet, an NPE exception is thrown.

ERROR [org.exoplatform.webui.application.portlet.PortletApplicationController] (http-0.0.0.0-8080-2) Error while rendering the porlet

Debugging the code shows that the call
       UIPageBody pageBody = uiWorkingWS.findFirstComponentOfType(UIPageBody.class);
always returns null.
