Good morning,

I'm encountering a persistent error in our THREDDS 5.6 deployment. The
servlet is throwing a NullPointerException, and the WMS functionality is
not working as expected.

Here's the relevant error from the Tomcat logs:
03-Apr-2025 16:34:19.346 SEVERE [ajp-nio-140.172.190.31-8009-exec-22]
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke
Servlet.service() for servlet [wms] in context with path [/thredds##5.6]
threw exception
    java.io.IOException: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read field
"allowFeatureInfo" because "newSettings" is null

Could you please provide guidance on what might be causing the newSettings
object to be null in this case?

Thank you for your help, and please let me know if you need additional
configuration details or logs.

Regards,
