Description nivek98 2006-09-29 08:59:29 UTC 
When I tried to add my new Glassfish v2 b19 server into the Server Manager I
keep getting a NullPointer Exception.

I also had to manually modify
.netbeans/5.5dev/config/J2EE/InstalledServers/.ntattrs to get NetBeans to point
to the correct directory for Glassfish.  I imagine that this is a related
problem. Possibly some code after the Exception is thrown that isn't getting
executed?

Deployment does work correctly.

-> sunappserv
Comment 2 Vince Kraemer 2006-09-29 15:46:53 UTC 
Easy fix.
Comment 3 Vince Kraemer 2006-10-14 17:35:49 UTC 
I am able to register v2 b20 in 5.5 rc1 (and the daily build which will become
rc2) and 6.0 (post merge).

Please reopen with more details about your GF install...

I am particularly interested in the content of asenv.conf (or asenv.bat, if you
are using a MS Windows OS)
Comment 4 Vince Kraemer 2006-11-01 18:16:24 UTC 
...
Comment 5 nivek98 2006-11-01 21:30:15 UTC 
Sorry, I completely forgot about this bug report.  I got it working by
installing Glassfish locally on my dev machine.  I was trying to use a network
share as the Platform location and it just didn't work.

In my opinion, I would love to see the need for a local copy of the Application
Server go away if possible.
Comment 6 _ tboudreau 2008-12-02 20:59:24 UTC 
See comments in issue 150223 - this is the same problem, and will depend on JDK and look and feel.  Re-close if this
code no longer exists.
Comment 7 Vince Kraemer 2008-12-02 22:47:06 UTC 
how do you reckon that this is related to issue 150223.. in that issue the isValid is being called from the construtor
of a panel... BAD

In this issue, the only constructor on the stack is the constructor for File...
