Hi, sorry to be lame but I literally have no time to scour JIRA for defects
right now but I thought to forward a problem encountered in my initial
experience setting up a 2.9.1 wiki. Not sure if this has been reported
previously, just thought I'd alert the team to a potential problem.
First, while I've used JSPWiki for many years now I thought I'd try
following
the README's "Really simple installation" instructions, and I must say
there's a fair bit of assumption in the current documentation about that
Install.jsp simply working, such as the lack of 'pages' directory in the
war
file, permissions settings, etc. I was in the end able to get things up and
running but I don't think it would work for a neophyte. Not yet.
But leaving that aside, my real reason for writing is that upon creating a
first user I tried navigating to the Preferences page after creating the
user
and found the following:
JSPWiki has detected an error
Error Message
in is null
Exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
Place where detected
java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.(), line 100
On looking in the log it turns out that the login sequence failed because
my
server doesn't have mail configured. I don't know if this is considered a
defect or not, but to my mind it probably should be, i.e., that the
inability
to send out a confirmation email shouldn't then disable use of the wiki for
a user. It either should fail silently or check to see if mail is available
and
if not, then fail silently, throwing an exception (but not disabling further
use of the wiki) and writing to the log.
In any case, the defaults set in jspwiki.properties for 2.9.1 currently has
it
breaking. If this is not considered a bug then perhaps some documentation
(in jspwiki.properties) on how to disable mail notification would be
helpful.
Thanks,
Ichiro
