Local fix
Problem summary
Users Affected: Users who view the references from some WCM Authoring Templates Problem Description: When viewing the references from WCM Authoring template, the WCM Authoring UI would render blank, and in the SystemOut.log file, a NullPointerException would be encountered
Problem conclusion
The problem was that when we are viewing the references, we are viewing information about the current object node, and the node.parent(). When the node in question has a parent node which is a JCR folder, the class returns null. Changed WCM to handle the null condition An interim fix for this APAR is available from Fix Central at: http://www.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fixcentral/swgquickorde r?brandid=2&productid=Workplace%20Web%20Content%20Management&fix es=6.0.1.2-WCM-PK53830 You will need to cut/paste the entire URL into a browser to resolve the address.
