NullPointerException with LDAP

[Catscratch]

Yeah, that's right. But e.g. if I login as UserA OpenKM tries to read the email address of UserA out of the AD, right? Now if e.g. UserB has no email address, this shouldn't be a problem. Because only UserA tries to login. Or does OpenKM tries to get the email addresses of all users if only one user logs in?
I don't think so.

So UserA got an email address but OpenKM throws a nullpointer exception anyway. And that's the only thing I don't understand at the moment.

OK it's not so simply.

I think login gets all users and all roles not only one user and role. That could be the reason why it happens this problem, I'm not totally sure about it. Althought it you've got other problem on security panels, because there must be shown all users and all roles.

Hello again,

I've tried a new way. I installed a new active directory with only 2
users which are in 1 OU.

There I also get the same error (NullPointerException) at
OKMWorkspaceServlet.java at the point:
workspace.setEmail(user.getEmail());

Both users got email addresses.

So what's wrong here?

Thank you and best regards,
Ronny

I think must increase log error, add ctegory in jboss-log4j.xml for LdapPrincipal class

[pavila]

Seems "user" is null. The execution should be traced to wee what happens. Try the log tip proposed by jllort to increase the log messages.

[Catscratch]

Hm, I added the following in the jboss-log4j.xml:

Code: Select all

<category name="com.openkm.principal.LdapPrincipalAdapter">
  <priority value="WARN" />
</category>

But there is no new error message in the log file (server.log of jboss). Only the stack trace I posted in my first message.

[jllort]

change to

Code: Select all

<priority value="DEBUG" />

[Catscratch]

I already tried. But the same. I tried ERROR, WARN and DEBUG. And than I searched the log file (which is very very long) for something like "*ldap*". But no hit.

[jllort]

In this tedious scenario we might debug the application.

[Catscratch]

Is there a way, that I may debug the source? I checked it out, but is there some kind of eclipse project? Or what do you use to build it?

Edit: I found the Developer Guide http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Developer_Guide and will try it.

[jllort]

I think in developer guide is well explained, first you must configure your IDE environment ( eclipse galileo or helios, we're using both ). Configure maven, checkout project etc...

[Catscratch]

I hang on this step http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Checko ... Subversion

Everytime I check out the project eclipse downloads the files from the svn. Then the maven plugin starts with "importen maven projects" and there it stucks. And nothings happens for hours.

Edit: If I try to build it manually I get:

Code: Select all

[jllort]

into ext-lib there's some library that you must install manually with terminal take a look at install.sh there's the command you must execute to register some library into maven.

[Catscratch]

I already executed the command in the install.sh. But the error remains.

[jllort]

run from terminal
mvn clean package into your project checkout with eclipse closed.
