1.2 Error

[steel]

Just upgraded to 1.2 and I can't even get to the Login page.

It seems to be running into a null pointer exception at:

httpReq.getRequestURI().endsWith(getLoginPage()) == false‍

Which is on Line 65 of AuthenticationFilter.java

I am not sure why it would be giving me a null pointer exception. Here's the trace:

thanks in advance.

Seems like getLoginPage() is returning a null causing the exception.

Where is the login page configuration stored?

[steel]

I think i figured it out. I was using an older Web-client-config.xml. Updated to the newer one and that problem is resolved. Now on to other bugs but no where near as cryptic.

[steel]

Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Cannot get value for expression '#{LoginBean.username}'‍‍

Any ideas?

[gavinc]

Have you ensured ALL your config files have been updated as we did slightly re-structure the faces config files in 1.2RC2.

For example do you have a faces-config-beans.xml file in <tomcat>/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF?

How did you perform the upgrade?

[steel]

My faces-config.xml had some properties that didn't match up to the beans. I fixed that now I run into this:

Transaction must be active and synchronization is required

[steel]

this is happening in the login function of loginBean.
I am really stuck. Help would be greatly appreciated.

[steel]

finally got around it.

The code that I was working with was from 1.2 RC1 and was still using the single faces-config.xml file while the new 1.2 uses a faces-config-app.xml and faces-config-bean.xml file.  All 3 files were being loaded and multiple definitions for the same beans were loaded as I remapped some means in my config file.
