I have checked the code and it turns out that it is currently not possible to update the RC1 release. The schemaVersion stuff that is triggering the NullPointerException was added after the RC1 release to make it easier to upgrade! If you have important data maybe we can fix this for the 2.0.1 release. > Populating a new database with 'initdb.sh' runs into similar problems: > > [0%] Building database............................. > [30%] Database built successfully. > [35%] Initialising database... > > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > net.sf.basedb.core.HibernateUtil.close(HibernateUtil.java:881) > at net.sf.basedb.core.Install.initDatabase(Install.java:605) > at net.sf.basedb.install.InitDB.main(InitDB.java:67) Are you really using the released 2.0 binary here? The reason that I ask is that we found the same problem in the trunk of our subversion server this morning. But that code was only a couple of days old. We don't get the error with the released 2.0 binary. > * Problem 2: compiling BASE 2.0 > Base 2.0 does build successfully from source but with LOTS of warnings > using Java 1.5.0_01, but no change from the above situation.

The problem was fixed in a later version.

Yes, you must run the update. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
