Error description
Abstract: Attempts to run the Web services JAX-RPC wizard after importing a preference file might result in a NullPointerException. Problem: If the preference file contains imports of the WebSphere Portal stub runtimes, and the WebSphere Portal stubs have not been installed in RAD, this causes the Web services JAX-RPC wizard to throw a NullPointerException. Local fix: To workaround this issue, either remove the WebSphere Portal stub references from the preferences file or install the WebSphere Portal stubs.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** After importing the preferences the runtime locations may no longer be valid. This may happen when a preference file created on one machine is imported into the workbench on another machine, and the WebSphere Application Server runtime installation directories are different.
Problem conclusion
With the fix, you can now proceed to the second page; however, because the runtime location is not valid, the emitter cannot be invoked. A more clear error message will appear to inform the user that the runtime location is invalid, and it will guide the user to check the preference page. The fix for this APAR is included in Rational Application Developer v8.0.4.2.
