Example Site gives a Java error

[flekschas]

Hi,
I started setting up the example site from the tutorial but at the final step when I should fill out the webform (Create Web Content Wizard Step 2) I get a java.lang.NullPointerException
Can anyone help me?

Here what the catalina.out log says:

Hi, sorry for the error. Can you tell me the name of the tutorial you are using? As well as the version of Alfresco?

[flekschas]

I'm currently using Alfresco 3.2
The Tutorial is: WCM 2_1 Product Evaluation Guide (http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=143373&use_mirror=osdn&filename=WCM2_1-Produ...)
