Hi Bojan, Thanks a million for your reply. I am thinking maybe I do have an earlier version of the code - Today I tried to get details on one particular collection using
http://localhost:8080/rest/communities/29.xml - this resulted in an error - HTTP Status 500 - Failure processing entity request (/communities/29.xml): null I will have to check the version I am running. Thanks again for your help.
