Hi, All.The issue is reproduced at the build of alfresco community for 24-Nov-2008(http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/nightly/dist/)The case is: A. create web form, add it to project, then create xml file using web forms section of project.B then view content of this xml, copy it to disk, re-format it at favorite editor (\t,\n,\r added depending on os and editor)C. at WCM click "update" button and then try to edit this xml.Something like that appears Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

I have applied the following fix at the chiba sources (seems to be it could be done in other way - to remove thus values \t\r\n when performing update operation - but that is for alfresco developers to think over it). For now just think it could be useful./src/org/chiba/xml/xforms/core/Validator.java#public void validate(ModelItem modelItem)Appropriate code in this method contained before the fix if (modelItem.isXSINillable() && (value == null || value.length() == 0)) {
and for our element this was not true, as it had values like "\n\t\t\t". For now this check contains if (modelItem.isXSINillable() && (value == null || value.length() == 0) || isTabbed(modelItem.getNode(), value)) {
and function for check is added public static final String TABS_LINE_ENDING_FILTER = "^[\\t\\n\\r]+$";
public static boolean isTabbed(final Object node, final String value) {
// only for elements
if (node instanceof Element) {
if (value.matches(TABS_LINE_ENDING_FILTER)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
