[Fedora-users] Problems with a Null Pointer Exception

I've just installed Fedora 2.0 for the first time on MacOS X (JVM  
1.4.2). When I attempt to load the demo objects, I get the following  
error:

	<finer time="1107279127308" thread="10">Error carried up to API-A  
level: java.lang.NullPointerException
	fedora.server.access.DefaultAccess.convertToCSV(DefaultAccess.java:562)
	fedora.server.access.DefaultAccess.getRetainPIDs(DefaultAccess.java: 
550)
	 
fedora.server.access.DefaultAccess.describeRepository(DefaultAccess.java 
:508)
	 
fedora.server.access.FedoraAPIABindingSOAPHTTPImpl.describeRepository(Fe 
doraAPIABindingSOAPHTTPImpl.java:429)
	</finer>

I'm new to all of this, so if any veterans have any advice, I'd  
appreciate it.

[Fedora-users] Problems with a Null Pointer Exception

I can't be of positive help; however, I have installed Fedora 2.0 on Mac OS X 10.3.7 with Java 1.4.2_05 and
successfully ingested the demos using:

fedora-convert-demos
fedora-ingest-demos

A scan of the log shows no NullPointerException.

sorry to not be of more help - ct

[Fedora-users] Fedora 2.0 downloads

All,

We've temporarily disabled Fedora 2.0 downloads while we work on an issue 
that's been brought to our attention.

We are working on the fix and hope to have a new set of download files 
available soon.

Thanks for your patience.

Best regards,
Ronda

Re: [Fedora-users] Problems with a Null Pointer Exception

I did change that. I left it empty. I thought that was the thing to do  
if I wanted all new PIDs for the objects in the repository. Of course,  
I deleted my downloaded bundle (and cannot download it now), so if you  
could let me know what is in yours, I'll give that a spin.

[Fedora-users] (no subject)

Hello All,

The downloads of Fedora 2.0 have now been restored. Thank 
you so much for your patience while we worked through the 
issue that was called to our attention this morning.

The development team would especially like to thank Chris 
Tomlinson for pointing out the bug to us so quickly and 
giving us the clues we needed to figure out what was 
happening. Thanks Chris!

Best regards,
Ronda

Re: [Fedora-users] (no subject)

Ronda,

Does this mean that those of us who downloaded Fedora 2.0 prior to this
should re-download?

Thanks!

Brian
