Description _ pcw 2005-11-05 01:09:39 UTC 
Create a web project w/ SJSAS as target server.
Delete sun-web.xml
Go to project node and select Properties off the popup menu.

NullPointerException in get/setContextRoot in SunONEDeploymentConfiguration
because the storage object that manages the DConfigBeans is unavailable (it's
owned by the DataObject which was destroyed when sun-web.xml deleted.)
Comment 1 _ pcw 2005-11-05 01:14:16 UTC 
We now handle null storage object in this case.  This means our
ConfigurationSupport implementation will return null for context root on
getContextRoot() call and do nothing on setContextRoot() call.

Still considering what to do about recreating the configuration when it is
deleted like this.  Probably will create default configuration on
setContextRoot() if storage is null, but this doesn't handle the case for
sun-ejb-jar.xml.  I will file another issue to deal with this aspect (how to
recreate sun-xxx files when deleted by the user).  For now, closing and
reopening the project would recreate the file.

Fixed.
