Thanks for the quick reply! So, no pressing need to fix this, we were
just taking the shortest route towards testing 2.0 (+ the
initialization wasn't working, see below).

I would assume so, plus we get the same behaviour with the source
distribution. We downloaded the Aug 31 release of base-2.0.tar.gz for
the binary and base-2.0-src.tar.gz for the self-compiled version, and
both yield the same error message, even when using the latest Java (se
Problem 3). I'd show you the output from "More about this server" but
it throws an exception too (db version mismatch perhaps):
10:50:16,385 ERROR [jsp]:704 - Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw
exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
net.sf.basedb.core.Application.getSchemaVersion(Application.java:202)
The link used was http://www.thep.lu.se/~jari/base/base-2.0.tar.gz
So basically, we're stuck - is there anything else we can do to help
you figue out what is going wrong? The only things I can think of are:
A) routines called subsequently by net.sf.basedb.install.InitDB are not
picking up the new Java installation - if that would even be an issue?
B) there's a mySQL version problem (since it's HibernateUtil that's
complaining).

OK, good to know. Maybe something for the installation page? We'll
stick with 1.5.0_08 then - if we can get the initdb.sh script to work,
that is!
