A NullPointerException is thrown inside TokenService.validateSession(TokenService.java:281)
during the webhook request flow, indicating validateSession dereferences a null value
(most likely a missing or expired session token, or a null lookup result).
Evidence For
NPE originates precisely in TokenService.validateSession, which by name reads token fields that are commonly null when a session has expired or was never created.
validateSession is called from processRequest (WebhookController.java:125) in a controller webhook flow; payloads often contain only a user identifier.
Evidence Against
No matched source snippet is provided for TokenService.java around line 281, so the exact dereferenced variable cannot be confirmed.
1
Prepare a local/staging environment with the application running and webhook endpoint reachable.
2
Create or choose a user in the webhook payload that does NOT have a corresponding session token stored.
3
Send an HTTP POST to the webhook endpoint with that payload — observe a 500 and the NPE at TokenService.validateSession:281.
