Description wqtnetbeans 2005-03-29 16:26:37 UTC 
4.1 daily 20050328

Page view of web DD, click on the "browse button" of when adding in "welcome
files" or "error pages", error window pops up with NPE.
Comment 1 Jiri Kovalsky 2005-03-30 06:00:09 UTC 
Can you please attach the NPE ? I can't reproduce it with development build
#200503291800 of NetBeans 4.1 and brand-new userdir. Does it happen if you use
empty userdir ? Besides, only NPE does not justify P1 priority. For more
details, please see http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/bug_priority_guidelines.html
Comment 2 Milan Kuchtiak 2005-03-30 09:45:17 UTC 
I can not reproduce the issue either.
In both NB web application and free form web appllication there are no exceptions.

Comment 4 wqtnetbeans 2005-03-30 20:30:33 UTC 
I can re-produce this with all recent daily builds.

I attached the messages.log. This is produced with the latest qbuild just came
out today. (Today's daily build also gives the same error.)

I blow away the .netbeans/dev directory everytime I install a new daily or Q build. 

Sorry about the P1 priority earlier though....
Comment 5 Milan Kuchtiak 2005-03-31 08:20:13 UTC 
Thank you for the info.
What kind of web application are you working with ?
Is it a project creating from scratch or free form project (creating for
existing ANT script) ?
Comment 6 Milan Kuchtiak 2005-03-31 16:10:43 UTC 
Fixed.

Than was happening most likely because the deployment descriptor (web.xml) was
outside the project.

See the comment above.
Comment 8 wqtnetbeans 2005-03-31 16:32:05 UTC 
The problem was happening for both "free form" and "web with exsisting sources".
The web dd (web.xml) is NOT outside the project. However, some of the common JSP
pages (like headers and footers) are outside the context root directory. So in
CVS it looks like:

CVSMODULE__
           |_myContextRoot__
                            |_WEB-INF/web.xml
                            |_jsp/(bunch o jsp pages)
           |_commonPages_
                         |_footer.jsp (etc....)

We are also planning on putting the common pages to some other CVS module later...
