[opencms-dev] (6b3) Confusing exception description

[Jorge Gonzalez]

Hi list:

Scenario: User clicks on "edit" xmlcontent

The exception:

----
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at
org.opencms.workplace.editors.CmsXmlContentEditor.initElementLanguage(CmsXml
ContentEditor.java:802)
	at
org.opencms.workplace.editors.CmsXmlContentEditor.initWorkplaceRequestValues

Is thrown when the user has read and view permission BUT doesn't have write
one.
Looking into opencms.log

...required permissions are +w [Code 303 - N...

It would be nice to let the user view the content editor in "READ ONLY"
mode, or raise an exception, but more accurate.

Thanks.
