NullPointerException error when trying to add content in 2.2

[schoony99]

Hello,

I am running Alfresco 2.2 as a portlet in Liferay.  Whenever I attempt to add content to a space, I receive the following error in my browser:

javax.portlet.PortletException: java.lang.NullPointerException
caused by:
java.lang.NullPointerException

And this is what I get when I hit "show details":

Now, If I run Alfresco only (by browsing to http://servername/alfresco) and attempt to upload content from here, I receive the following:
