Start at JpaUserService.java:82 and trace the call from findOrCreateByLoginId at line 61 into WorkgroupViewUserController.java:182. Reproduce the POST request for the WorkgroupView user endpoint, identify the null value involved, and verify that creating the user no longer produces the reported NullPointerException.
