Just starting out and have a NPE

Hi

I am writing my first KonaKart application and I am getting the following error:

13-Mar 23:14:03 DEBUG (KKAppEng.java:init:469) Entering KKAppEng Constructor()
13-Mar 23:14:03 INFO  (KKAppEng.java:readPropertiesFile:398) kkAppEng using configuration file: /C:/dev/workspaces/ecommerce/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/wtpwebapps/konakart/WEB-INF/classes/konakart_app.properties

I have built my own dynamic web app in Eclipse and use an  embedded Tomcat server.  My struts-config.xml and tiles-defs.xml are cut-down versions of those distributed.  The web.xml is similar and the properties files are on the classpath.  The KK plugin creates a KKEng at start up as I see the following in the logs:


KonaKartEngPlugin:
propertiesPath    = konakart.properties
mode              = Single Store
storeId           = store1
customersShared   = false

I'm hoping this is something obvious that someone can point out to me.

Thanks
