If instead I configure the <initialAuthContext> element with two
<context> elements, for example

   <initialAuthContext requestedOnly="false">
           <context name="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:Password" />
           <context name="http://id.incommon.org/assurance/bronze" />
   </initialAuthContext>

then I am presented, as I expect, a list of two methods. When I choose
one of the methods and click "Continue" I find in my Tomcat log files

Scott,

In your idp-process.log are there any debug lines that look like this:

log.debug("Adding default method [{}]", m.getContent());

>From the stack trace it appears that for some reason the default method list is null, which doesn't make much sense given it is the list shown on the selection page. However, the list shown on the selection page can vary. So because of that it stores the list in the Tomcat session object where it later retrieves it for validation of the selection. That is the point the NPE shows up, that list retrieved from the session is null. Anything special in the Tomcat configuration as far as session support?
