AW: NPE initializing 2.1.6 showcase in Tomcat 6.0.18

2009-01-22 Thread Jan Fröhlich
Hi..

is that already verified, that the NPE occurs cause of the spaces in the path 
names?
And if - are there any other work arounds than installing tomcat in a different 
path, cause I have to use a preinstalled tomcat in a path with blank spaces.

Regards,
Jan

hi there!

Ok now the showcase works for me too. I think I found the cause of the
problem.

(Under Windows XP)

- If I install Tomcat under C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat (as the Tomcat Windows service installer does) the NPE
occurs
- OTOH if I install Tomcat under e.g. C:\java\Tomcat it works fine.

It looks like the problem is due to the empty spaces in the directory
location of the configuration.

Best,
Giovanni

  I installed Tomcat service and drop the war that comes within the
  struts-2.1.6-all.zip and then saw the NPE blow. I restarted the
 showcase
  several times from Tomcat manager but still got the NPE.
 
  I've started it from console (via bat file) maybe that's the case, I
 will check
 
 Nope, works ;-)

I didn't see any other responses, so I'll throw out the obvious answer 
that may or may not work:  Have you tried adding and using a shortcut to 
that directory (which does not contain spaces) to see if that avoids the 
issue?

I agree with Dale
Putting ANY characters other than a-z upper/lower and 0-9 and 
LONG FOLDER NAMES WITH SPACES easily gacks Java read routines so if your 
CATALINA_HOME is set to
C:\PROGRAM FILES WITH SPACES\TOMCAT
go to C:\
dir /X /AD
find the shortened name e.g. PROGRA~1 and use that for environment variable
SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\TOMCAT
