get(displaysByMimetype) failed

[peadair]

Hi,
    Can someone please help with the following? I don't know how serious it is but I'm getting it on the Alfresco Enterprise edition. If this is a fundamental problem then please let me know and/or let me know how I can fix it/describe what I've done wrong?

Is this consistently reproducible on an out-of-the-box Enterprise Edition install? If so, you should log a Jira and then a support case that points to the Jira. Please include the stack trace as well as the steps needed to reproduce it.

If you have made customizations to your install do any of them have to do with configuring new mimetypes? Or maybe some tweaks to Share forms or form components?

What are you doing when you see this error?

Hi Jeff,
The issue was caused by using an alfresco.war from community with the enterprise version.
Once I replaced the war with the correct one the issue disappeared.
Regards,
Peter.
