Hi,
I am trying to upgrade existing 7.3 VAP to 7.4. We followed a manual upgrade approach and accordingly built the Vignette_Portal.ear file. We used table_installer script to upgrade table schema to 7.4. We restarted the server and I was able to see the Vignette 7.4 Server Console. The data and everything looked fine. However, the application was not loading.
When I tried to modify the web.xml (due to the exceptions in log file), the portal server console stopped working. I reverted all my changes and cleared websphere cache (by deleting folders manually). Still I am getting following exception
