[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-924?page=comments#action_12435338 ] Martin Stockhammer commented on FOR-924: ----------------------------------------
By one of the last patches the import of forrest.properties file in ForrestConfModule.java was removed, because in "forrest run" startup they are set from ant as system properties. In Webapp-Modules there is no ant involved and forrest.properties is never read. This leads to the NullpointerException in ForrestConfUtils.aliasSkinProperties(). --------------------- String skinName = props.getProperty("project.skin"); if (skinName.equals("crust")) { <<<<------ skinName is 'null' setSkinToUse(props, "krysalis-site"); -------------------- My suggestion is, to reinsert the code to import forrest.properties file in ForrestConfModule.java: Index: E:/user/martins/devel/eclipse-ws/apache-forrest/main/java/org/apache/forrest/conf/ForrestConfModule.java =================================================================== Index: E:/user/martins/devel/eclipse-ws/apache-forrest/main/java/org/apache/forrest/conf/ForrestConfModule.java =================================================================== --- org/apache/forrest/conf/ForrestConfModule.java (revision 447107) +++ org/apache/forrest/conf/ForrestConfModule.java (working copy) @@ -175,6 +175,20 @@ filteringProperties = loadXMLPropertiesFromURI(filteringProperties, forrestPropertiesStringURI); + // get forrest.properties and load the values + forrestPropertiesStringURI = projectHome + SystemUtils.FILE_SEPARATOR + + "forrest.properties"; + filteringProperties = loadAntPropertiesFromURI(filteringProperties, + forrestPropertiesStringURI); + + // get default-forrest.properties and load the values + String defaultForrestPropertiesStringURI = contextHome + SystemUtils.FILE_SEPARATOR + + "default-forrest.properties"; + filteringProperties = loadAntPropertiesFromURI(filteringProperties, + defaultForrestPropertiesStringURI); + + + // Load plugin default properties String strPluginList = filteringProperties .getProperty("project.required.plugins"); @@ -309,5 +323,46 @@ private final void debug(String debugString) { getLogger().debug(debugString); } + + /** + * @param antPropertiesStringURI + * @throws MalformedURLException + * @throws IOException + * @throws SourceNotFoundException + */ + private AntProperties loadAntPropertiesFromURI(AntProperties precedingProperties, + String antPropertiesStringURI) throws MalformedURLException, IOException, + SourceNotFoundException { + Source source = null; + InputStream in = null; + try { + source = m_resolver.resolveURI(antPropertiesStringURI); + if (debugging()) + debug("Searching for forrest.properties in" + source.getURI()); + if (source.exists()){ + in = source.getInputStream(); + filteringProperties = new AntProperties(precedingProperties); + filteringProperties.load(in); + + if (debugging()) + debug("Loaded:" + antPropertiesStringURI + filteringProperties.toString()); + } + + } finally { + if (source != null) { + m_resolver.release(source); + } + if (in != null) { + try { + in.close(); + } catch (IOException e) { + } + } + } + + return filteringProperties; + } + + } > forrest war fails with error in ForrestConfModule > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FOR-924 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-924 > Project: Forrest > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Launch servlet WAR > Affects Versions: 0.8-dev > Reporter: David Crossley > Fix For: 0.8-dev > > > With the current trunk (r436707) doing 'forrest war' and deploy to either > full Jetty-4 or Tomcat-4 > error log has this ... > ------------ > ERROR (2006-08-26) 00:17.47:047 [core.manager] (Unknown-URI) > Unknown-Thread/CoreServiceManager: Caught an exception trying to initialize > the component handler. > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.forrest.conf.ForrestConfUtils.aliasSkinProperties(ForrestConfUtils.java:100) > at > org.apache.forrest.conf.ForrestConfModule.initialize(ForrestConfModule.java:194) > at > org.apache.avalon.framework.container.ContainerUtil.initialize(ContainerUtil.java:244) > ... > ------------ > Perhaps this is related to recent changes in forrest properties system. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
