SSO instance failing to initialize

[Bill Brown]

Greetings:

I'm working with the Gateway SSO portlet and am getting an
initialization error (details below). The gateway-portlet.xml is
placed in the same spot as in the example but it doesn't load.

Since the URL is null the exception is thrown on this line "String
configUrlStr = configUrl.toString();"

I could try moving the gateway-portlet.xml file outside of WEB-INF but
I'm thinking that is much less secure.

has anyone else here run into this issue?

Details below:
uportal 3.0.2
toro 2.0.0-rc-3
sud jdk 6.

Thanks for looking at this.
Bill.
