Deploying Webtop: java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi,

I am trying to deploy Webtop on Weblogic 10.3.0. My deployment always fails with error java.lang.NullPointerException. It does not get more explicit than that. Here is what I am doing through a script:

1. Exploding webtop.war to the deployment folder

2. Generating the dfc.properties in WEB-INF/classes

3. Adding weblogic.xml in WEB-INF

4. Add French language pack and update wdk/app.xml

5. Manually deploy the application by specifying the folder using the Weblogic Console.

I have attached a dfc trace. The exception is shown at line 4495.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Have you configued the global repository? Is the global repository available?

Can you please post your dfc.properties file?

It turned out that we had 2 problems:

1. The Global Registry repository existed but its storage UNC was not available. I fixed it. I was able to catch this problem by sniffing the network traffic between the application (Webtop) and the Content server. A packet passed with a message "Storage unavailable" or something like that. Although it was sent to Webtop, it was not logged anywhere and a meaningless error message was shown instead.

2. The keystore of the Global Registry repository was using a key based on a former secondary IP address on the server that was removed some time ago. Even if the server main IP address never changed, I still had to run the Bug147071_pre60SP1_engr_fix.zip to fix the problem.

Everything is running fine now. Both Webtop and DA deployed without any problem. Thanks for your time.

Hi I am having the same problem and require the Bug147071_pre60SP1_engr_fix.zip fix.

The address that is in the user guide does not work (ftp://dev_pre:qa5.grN6@ftp2.lss.emc.com/sustaining/6.0/Bug147071_pre60SP1_engr_fix.zip)

Does anyone know where I can get this from?

Any bug fixes need to come from EMC directly. Submit a support ticket and they will send you the bug fix.

This is quite inconvenient considering the url is listed in the Documentum Content Server Release Notes for version 6.5 sp2 on page 69:

Changing name of the host or IP address after Content

Server installation (147071)

If you change the name of the host or its IP address after installing Content Server, you will getfollowing authentication error when the agent exec program is attempting to start Content Server:Error [DM_SESSION_E_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE]error:"Could not authenticate the client installation for reason:Client hostname in authentication string doesn’t matchvalue in registry."To resolve this issue, download and run the following tool to reregister Content Server with thenew host name or IP address:ftp://dev_pre:qa5.grN6@ftp2.lss.emc.com/sustaining/6.0/Bug147071_pre60SP1_engr_fix.zip.I have however found the file.Thanks
