Navigating to http://ecoinformatics.uvm.edu/aries.app yields this error:

HTTP ERROR: 500

org.integratedmodelling.thinklab.session.TTYUserModel cannot be cast to org.integratedmodelling.aries.webapp.model.ARIESUserModel

no it doesn't unless you do it improperly (which is the rationale of only allowing access through a button and not publishing the URL). This happens when there is a mismatch between the session ID in the GET or POST request and the current session in the browser. So it can happen if you have an old page and the server was restarted or got a timeout, or if you let google instant fill in a URL with GET parameters. Opening a fresh aries.app (no parms) session does not do this as far as I can replicate. So if started properly and using no manual URLs as all webapps want to do but cannot enforce, this should not be a problem.

I pushed the button the ariesonline.org website and got that error. It happened repeatedly to me yesterday in this way. It appears to be gone now. Perhaps it was simply an outdated cache problem in my browser.
