Latest SVN build WCM content submission broken [SOLVED]

steventux — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 14:44:10 GMT

I've tested this on a clean build of the latest SVN code (30/10/2008) with new db and dir.root and get the following exception when trying to submit a file from a Web Project:14:37:41,258 User:admin ERROR [ui.common.Utils] A system error happened during the operation: nulljava.lang.NullPointerExcept

In Alfresco Forums no one can hear you scream

sandboxFactory is null on line 565 :

this.sandboxInfo = sandboxFactory.createWorkflowSandbox(
                  this.avmBrowseBean.getStagingStore());‍‍

The SubmitDialog bean config in faces-config-app.xml doesn't mention the SandboxFactory class - should there be some additional config here to resolve the dependency?

Hi,

Can you please clarify exactly what you mean by "submit a file from a Web Project"? Do you mean create a file within a user sandbox and submit it the staging sandbox?

How are you creating the file?
What type of file is it?
Is this Labs or Enterprise?

Regards, Ben.

Built from svn://svn.alfresco.com/alfresco/HEAD so that's Community unless Alfresco have started sharing their Enterprise code :lol:

I noticed the problem on 30/10/2008 or thereabouts. Specifically when I tried to submit web content - that's any content in a user's sandbox submitted to the staging sandbox (whether uploaded or created via a web form). As noted above the file/content type is irrelevant as the sandboxFactory property is always null hence the error on the line as detailed above.
Subversion revisions suggest a fair bit of refactoring and it looks to me that sandboxFactory needs to be injected into the SubmitDialog bean but I don't have the time to try and fix this - I rolled back to revision 3197 and probably won't go near SVN builds for a while.

Yes, sorry. This has been fixed on latest SVN. Here's is the diff:
