I don't think you have a clean install of 1.3.

NewRuleWizard is a bean that was defined in 1.2 but has been replaced with CreateRuleWizard in 1.3. Also we no longer use the startWizard() method for starting this particular wizard, it uses the new wizard framework.

How did you install 1.3?

I downloaded the 1.3 preview version WAR file and deployed it to my webapps directory. I cleaned out all the alf_data other folders from my 1.2.1 install. I logged in as admin and tried to add a new rule and saw the exception.

Did you also clean out the older alfresco webapp before deploying the WAR? Also removing the temp and work folders in Tomcat is always a good thing to do.

If the application is looking for NewRuleWizard it has definitely picked up an old version from somewhere. I've just checked the WAR file for 1.3 and faces-config-beans.xml has no mention of NewRuleWizard.

So, try stopping Tomcat, delete the tomcat/webapps/alfresco folder, tomcat/webapps/alfresco.war, tomcat/temp and tomcat/work folders. Copy the new WAR file in and re-start Tomcat.

thanks for the reply. it was the fact that the work and temp folders were not cleaned out after the new install.
