Does anyone have example code of a custom directory for Crowd 2.3. I am trying to create one and am getting a java.lang.NullPointerException. Exception trace stack:

I recommend downloading the source code for Crowd 2.3 from my.atlassian.com.

Then in your IDE of choice, set a break point at line 171 of com.atlassian.crowd.manager.application.ApplicationServiceGeneric line 171

and see what it is that is null
