Well, evidently, I need to start from scratch, because none of these changes made a whit of difference. I still get no d2wcontext, and get the same NPE.
I wish I knew what it was that I broke, so this would seem less like black box magic and I had any understanding of it to fix my own issues. C'est la vie, I guess.

It might just as easily be a list of users, or a search page for bugs, or whatever you want. You just need to call the method from your "Admin" tab, whatever it is called. For example you might want to call it adminHomePage(). That just doesn't matter.

This is where ERXThreadStorage comes in handy because it is accessible from your EOs.
