From the line number of the NPE, my guess is that the user is null

Do you see any of these exceptions occurring?

        } catch (RegistrationException e1) {
                                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                        System.out.println("user: " + userName + " 
not created");
                                } catch (SecurityException e1) {
                                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                        System.out.println("user: " + userName + " 
not created");
                                }
