[opencms-dev] NullPointerException when saving. Problem withdefault body and locales.

[bart vandendriessche]

Hey Olli and Jonathan,

thanks for your suggestions, I did add a custom default body similar to 
the one below and it works properly this way. It does seem like a flaw 
that the controlcode has to be edited upon adding a new locale though.

regards,
Bart
