[Building Sakai] NPE when viewing shared portfolio

[David McPherson]

Hi Noah,

The portal/tool construction does seem to take care of the problem.  We actually get two different exceptions depending on if the user was logged in first or not logged in.  I can send those if you want them.

I can't find any other Jira's about this issue and I didn't want to make a new one if there's an existing one.  We're running 2.6.2 with patches applied.  Our kernel is 1.0.13 with a few customizations.  The problem seems to stem from when the login helper tries to get the current session and returns null.  If the user is already logged in and tries to view the shared portfolio, we get a different NPE.  In both cases, the user is trying to view the portfolio by clicking on a link that was in an email that was sent to them.  Here is what the url looks like:
