Cannot get value for expression '#{SpaceDetailsBean.name}'

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I received this error by doing the following in an otherwise functional Alfresco install:

1) navigating to a space (one of the built in template spaces)
2) going home for the night
3) returning in the morning
4) clicking on any link on the space I'd navigated to yesterday

Logging out and logging back in resolved the issue.

Has anybody seen this? Is there a workaround?

Here is the full error trace:

No, I haven't seen this particular issue. It looks like you're using NTLM for your authentication, so as a guess I would imagine that the application is trying to use the same session you were using before going home the previous evening. When it comes to actually using the sesssion it falls over.

The best thing to do is raise the issue in JIRA and then it will get looked at.
