APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Unable to view JDBC provider on larger node and when filter the
server, GUI reports the error 500, with
java.lang.NullPointerException.
Problem summary - in the admin GUI, when working with JDBC
providers, when there is a list more than 20 application servers
in a list for a node, attempts to navigate past the first page
of 20 entries fail. Detailed description - I am working with a
node with 36 application servers defined. In the admin GUI I
want to view the JDBC providers for one of these app servers.
I navigated Resources -> JDBC providers, selected my node and
clicked
OK. When I click browse servers, I get a list of the first 20
Local fix
servers in order by name. The navigation line reads: Total: 36
Page: 1, Total Pages: 2 NEXT
Now when I click NEXT, the first 20 servers show again, not the
next page as expected.
Next I tried the filter option. I set the filter for some text,
for example "I*" but I get a null pointer exception. There is an
application server named ISF. The top of the stack trace is
copied below.
As a result of these two bugs, I cannot view the JDBC providers
for 16 of the 36 app servers in this node.
LOCAL FIX:ン
None
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server 5.0 *
* Network Deployment edition users who use the *
* filter function from the Browse Node. *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A NullPointerException is thrown when *
* using Filter from 'Browse Node' while *
* configuring JDBC Providers on WebSphere *
* Network Deployment. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
To reproduce the problem navigated to:
- Resources
- JDBC providers
Select your node and click 'OK'. Then click 'Browse Servers',
which displays a list of the first 20 servers. However, if the
'Filter' option is used to narrow down the list which is longer
than one page, the following exception is received:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
com.ibm.ws.console.core.action.GenericCollection
Action.searchView (GenericCollectionAction.java:140)
at
com.ibm.ws.console.core.action.ServerSelectionAction.perform
(ServerSelectionAction.java:76)
Problem conclusion
The NodeSelectionAction.java file was modified to add the
initialization of a session variable by adding a call to
initActionContext(mapping, form, request, response); .
Temporary fix
The NodeSelectionAction.java has been modified
and fix to be included with next PTF.
The session variable was not being initialized.
added initializing instance variable session which
is defined in the base class GenericAction.
