Description _ pcw 2004-02-11 01:33:01 UTC 
When mounting a web module that was not created by
NetBeans and has a sun-web.xml, an exception is
thrown when created the ConfigDataObject for the
sun-web.xml file.  This is because the
SERVER_STRING file attribute is never set, and
thus is null when the code attempts to use it. 
(ConfigDataObject, line #130)

javax.enterprise.deploy.spi.exceptions.ConfigurationException

org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.deployment.config.ConfigDataObject.getStorage(ConfigDataObject.java:133)

        at
org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.deployment.impl.projects.J2eeDeploymentLookup.getStorage(J2eeDeploymentLookup.java:171)
Wraps this exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException

org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.deployment.config.ConfigurationStorage.<init>(ConfigurationStorage.java:51)
        at
org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.deployment.config.ConfigDataObject.getStorage(ConfigDataObject.java:130)

To create an example of this with netbeans, create
a web module.  Unmount the web module.  At the OS
filesystem level (explorer in Windows, command
line or something in UNIX, etc.), delete the files
META-INF\.nbattrs and WEB-INF\.nbattrs to delete
the file attributes assigned by NetBeans.  Now
remount the web module and you should get this
exception.

NetBeans should be able to handle loading web
modules it did not create (or were created in
prior versions and don't have this attribute or
the correct version of it.)

I will fix this ASAP. If somebody in web apps team wants to attempt I
will attach what should be the fix (I have not tested it completely
but I will double check later)
