HttpSessionManager getSessionIds() returns nullpointerException - spring

Question

I have this code, which is returning a NullPointerException. What's the matter?
public static void createMultiLogin(HttpServletRequest httpRequest)
{
HttpSessionManager sessionManager =(HttpSessionManager) httpRequest.getAttribute(HttpSessionManager.class.getName());
String alias = httpRequest.getParameter("userdetails");
System.out.println("Inside createMultiLogin "+alias);
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
SessionRepository<Session> sessionRepository =(SessionRepository<Session>)httpRequest.getAttribute(SessionRepository.class.getName());
for(Map.Entry<String, String> entry : sessionManager.getSessionIds(httpRequest).entrySet()) {
String aliasId = entry.getKey();
String sessionId = entry.getValue();
Session storedSession = sessionRepository.getSession(sessionId);
HttpSession httpSession = httpRequest.getSession(false);
if(storedSession.getAttribute("ssouserid") != null)
{
httpSession.setAttribute("ssouserid", storedSession.getAttribute("ssouserid"));
}
System.out.println("printing from the multilogin class "+aliasId +" : "+sessionId);
}
if(alias == null || "".equals(alias.trim()))
{
alias = sessionManager.getNewSessionAlias(httpRequest);
}
httpRequest.setAttribute("alias",alias);
}
