I just finished building portal-2.0Beta1 against JBoss AS 4.0.0RC1 from sources, on FedoraCore2 using j2sdk1.4.2_07. I had to modify the local.properties to include my postgresql database, and then modified the postgresql.properties to use my username/password.
After copying the postgresql jar file to the lib, and following the directions on the "Building Portal from Source", I am recieiving a Tomcat error when I go to http://localhost:8080/portal. JBoss runs fine, and I can access the jmx-console and so forth, just not the portal. Here is the error from my log: ------------------------------Start Error-------------------------- 2005-03-20 12:49:02,489 ERROR [org.jboss.web.localhost.Engine] StandardWrapperValve[PortalServlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet PortalServlet threw exception org.jboss.portal.common.transaction.NestedException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.portal.common.transaction.Transactions.requiresNew(Transactions.java:81) at org.jboss.portal.core.servlet.TransactionFilter.doFilter(TransactionFilter.java:74) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:186) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:157) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:214) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invokeInternal(StandardContextValve.java:198) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:152) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:462) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:146) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:137) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:117) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:122) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:929) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:160) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:799) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11Protocol.java:705) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:577) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:683) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.portal.server.servlet.AbstractMainServlet.doGet(AbstractMainServlet.java:52) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:697) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:237) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:157) at org.jboss.portal.core.servlet.TransactionFilter$1.run(TransactionFilter.java:78) at org.jboss.portal.common.transaction.Transactions.requiresNew(Transactions.java:75) ... 31 more ----------------------------End Error------------------------- Any ideas on what I could have missed?
