I just downloaded the NB5.5. and installed the same. I created one web application project and tried to open the web.xml file in NetBeans editor, bot I am getting the following Error and not able to opne the XML file. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.sun.share.config.ConfigDataObject.getStorage (ConfigDataObject.java:347) at org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.sun.share.config.ConfigDataObject.findOpenedConfigEdi tor(ConfigDataObject.java:648) at org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.sun.share.config.ConfigDataObject$2.run (ConfigDataObject.java:221) at org.openide.util.Mutex.doEventAccess(Mutex.java:1178) at org.openide.util.Mutex.readAccess(Mutex.java:215) at org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.sun.share.config.ConfigDataObject.isConfigEditorOpene d(ConfigDataObject.java:219) at org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.sun.share.config.ConfigDataObject.getEditCookie (ConfigDataObject.java:271) at org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.sun.share.config.ConfigDataObject._getEditCookie (ConfigDataObject.java:260) at org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.sun.share.config.ConfigDataObject.getCookie (ConfigDataObject.java:289) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.text.navigator.NavigatorContent.navigate (NavigatorContent.java:138) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.text.navigator.XMLNavigatorPanel.navigate (XMLNavigatorPanel.java:82) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.text.navigator.XMLNavigatorPanel$1.resultChanged (XMLNavigatorPanel.java:43) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.text.navigator.XMLNavigatorPanel.panelActivated (XMLNavigatorPanel.java:70) at org.netbeans.modules.navigator.NavigatorController.updateContext (NavigatorController.java:229) at org.netbeans.modules.navigator.NavigatorController.access$600 (NavigatorController.java:62) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.navigator.NavigatorController$ActNodeSetter.run (NavigatorController.java:388) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:209) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:597) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters (EventDispatchThread.java:273) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter (EventDispatchThread.java:183) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy (EventDispatchThread.java:173) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents (EventDispatchThread.java:168) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents (EventDispatchThread.java:160) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:121)
Looks like server plugin issue... please evaluate.
I have attempted to replicate your result, but haven't been successful. Which installer did you use for 5.5? Did you register an instance of the Sun Java System Application Server? Which server was the web app "targeted" for? Was the web app for J2EE 1.4 or Java EE 5? Without more details, I doubt that I will be able to make much progress on this.
Could you please attach a copy of the ide's log file (var/log/messages.log in the netbeans userdirectory).
unable to duplicate with available information. reopen with more info if this is still a probalem
