Hotmail login with NullPointerException about socialauth

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi

It seems you are not getting provider object from session in return action.

Please have a look the code given below:-

Suppose in first java action you are writing this code:-

AuthProvider provider = AuthProviderFactory.getInstance(“hotmail”);
            String returnToUrl = "http://opensource.brickred.com/socialauthdemo/socialAuthSuccessAction.do"; (Change it with your return URL)
            HttpSession session = request.getSession();
            Session.setAttribute(“provider”,provider);
            String url = provider.getLoginRedirectURL(returnToUrl);
            //..your code to forward it to url.

In success action get the provider from session:-


HttpSession session = request.getSession();
AuthProvider provider = null;
            If(Session.getAttribute(“provider”)!=null){
                  provider = (AuthProvider)session.getAttribute(“provider”);
}
if (provider != null) {
Profile profile = provider.verifyResponse(request);
//….rest of code
            }

 I am attaching my struts action files also for your reference. In struts action I am using form bean to store provider object in session. But in above example I am setting provider in session directly. So if you are not using struts you can use above code.

OR you can go through the following link for complete understanding of struts 
demo.

I hope it will help you to resolve your problem. If you are still facing same 
issue , please send me your complete code of these actions.

Regards
Tarun
