WDSC v7 fixpack problem

[arrow483]

I updated WDSC with the lastest fixpack. Now when using RSE, the editor works
fine, but attempting to run any command under "User Actions" I get "An
Unexpected Exception has occurred".

java.lang.NullPointerException

Re: WDSC v7 fixpack problem

Yeah, I made the mistake of upgrading as well. I should have went out and read the docs first. I don't mind the fact that they upgraded to java 1.5 but that kinda threw a couple wrenches in my stuff. And the IDE has a tendency to lose some of my web.xml code. Some parts of it just disappeared. I was pretty pissed.

Lets just say that the last week since the upgrade hasn't been fun for me especially since I'm polishing a program for production... its set me back time wise... not good.

Ummm... if we are on 7.0.0.6 how is 7.0.0.4 going to help.... isn't that already in the past??? They must have cut back on coffee consumption or something...

Good news! IBM just released iFix001 to fix this problem.

Re: WDSC v7 fixpack problem

I have updated with the new iFix001 and it has corrected my problem.
Bryce, this may help with your issues as well.

Re: WDSC v7 fixpack problem

I updated this morning. We'll see if it did anything the next time I try to do any java programming, which might be a little bit now that I deployed the "final" version of my latest app
