Hi! It would be a huge improvement if xml files where validated against the XSD during startup. I commented out the <hideMessage> section in syslogd-configuration.xml since I didn't use it.
Appearently, the <hideMessage> is not nillable (see http://www.opennms.org/documentation/java-xsddocs-stable/syslogd-configuration.html). But instead of a nice message informing me about that during startup I had to realize that no syslogd events came in to OpenNMS due to the following NPE as seen in output.log: Exception in thread "Thread-894" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.opennms.netmgt.syslogd.ConvertToEvent.make(ConvertToEvent.java:410) at org.opennms.netmgt.syslogd.SyslogConnection.run(SyslogConnection.java:93) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) Is there an enhancement request for validation? If not, I'm filing one.
