This is an odd bug that I've come across. I've been using a web script to browse a store and its nodes.

I suspect it's not randomly throwing that exception, but on every request.

The issue is that you've specified <authentication>none</authentication> in your web script definition, but then proceed to attempt to access data in the repository.

To access the repo, you must be authenticated. So, change none to guest, user or admin.

If you're invoking the Web Script via HTTP and a URL that starts with /alfresco/service, you'll be asked to login. You can force guest access by adding guest=true as a URL argument.

thanks, davidc! It was actually happening randomly for some reason but I changed my webscript to authenticate and it worked great.
