I have been working with Bob on this issue and it is still NOT resolved. I
have been trying to dig into this deeper and am wondering if the app needs
to reference the JNDI tree in order to instantiate the Context which
apparently is null? If so, is there any properties that I need to change to
point the app to Websphere's JNDI tree instead of its default since I have
the app deployed on a Websphere server? Perhaps I need to update the
jndi.properties file? Or if I am off base are there any other suggestions
as to where I can look? We appreciate the help so far. Thanks.
hi,
I took a quick look and it appears the errors you're getting indicate that
your GeonetContext is null; it's usually accessed like this
GeonetContext gc = (GeonetContext)
context.getHandlerContext(Geonet.CONTEXT_NAME);
but subsequent references to "gc" throw the NullPointerExceptions.
This being so, I have no idea why this is happening. I guess it has to do
with exactly how you deployed the application to WebSphere; how did you do
it? As the standard GeoNetwork build script does not produce a standard
deployable artefact such as an EAR or WAR file.
Recently someone created a build process that outputs a WAR, maybe you have
better results with that; see the "sandbox/geonetworkui/BlueNetMEST/" source
tree in SVN to find it ..
kind regards

Hi Jeroen,
We have the log now, thanks, and have attached it to this post. If you
could have a look to get an idea of what might be happening, I'd sure
appreciate it.
Thanks, Bob
