We upgraded to 3.7 using the upgrade procedure (setup naked install in new MySQL db, did an XML restore, then reindexed for good measure).

Hi Sean,

Thanks for reporting this to us. For time being, you may try editing the source code of the RPC plugin:

http://repository.atlassian.com/atlassian-jira-rpc-plugin/distributions/

You can prevent the NPE by modifying the RemoteComment(Comment comment) constructor:

if(comment.getRoleLevel() != null){
  roleLevel = comment.getRoleLevel().getName();
}
else{
  roleLevel = null;
}

Cheers,
Yuen-Chi Lian
