Hello,

I'm using Alfresco 2.1 community edition and I ran into the following bug.

When I try to view the details of any document I have the permission to edit, I got
the following error :

javax.faces.FacesException: Cannot get value for expression '#{DocumentDetailsBean.versionHistory}'
caused by:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Cannot get value for expression '#{DocumentDetailsBean.versionHistory}'

It used to work fine, but for some reason, it doesn't work anymore.
I'm not sure right now what the reason is.

When I try to access a content I have no permission to edit, everything is ok.
When I log as an admin, everyting is ok.

I noticed that it used to be a similar issue (AR-135), but the issue is said to be fixed for long time (dec 2005), and
the stack strace is slightly different (the root cause is access denied for AR-135, my root cause is NPE).

If you have any idea what went wrong, don't hesitate.

I have the same problem with the Alfresco Labs 3B version.
