I have a site based largely on Retail2002.

I find that occasionally the CommerceContext.Current.UserID property is
NULL, so the app generates an exception.

This is happening for anonymous requests. I can see in
Application.cs:Application_BeginRequest() that everything *appears* to be
happening correctly. I cannot see where the UserID property is being set for
the this context.

Do you have session state enabled for the site?  Are you trying to access
CommerceContext.Current.UserID from Session_OnStart by chance?

We have seen once case in the past where this was happening.
HttpContext.Current could be null in Session_Start under very specific
conditions that involve the session being locked and multiple requests
coming in at the same time for that one session.

The workaround is enclose Session_Start with an if(HttpContext.Current =
null).

Hope that solves it for you.

David,

Yes, I have sessions enabled. I have this problem on my workstation as I
test the site - yes I may have multiple browser windows open, but only one
is "active".

Another characteristic is the problem is "sporadic". Sometimes I get it
alot, other times not at all (for a while). I can't see anything that ties
that behavior together. I will looking into the items you mention.
