Hello to everybody,
I am running postgresquel 6.5.3 and tomcat 4.0.
Everything works fine when I access databases from servlets or JSP but I 
can't authenticate users with  JDBCRealms in tomcat using postgresql 
databases.
If I try to start Tomcat I get this error from the JDBC driver. I am 
using  the driver jdbc6.5-1.2.jar

java.lang.NullPointerException:

Is there a way to use Postgresql  in JDBRealms?
Thanks in advance
