Description

« Hide

If I attempt to specify the name of an internal page (whether in the same space as the calendar or in a different space) as the value for the "Link" attribute of an event, I receive an error message stating that there's been a server error and to look at the logs.

When I look at the logs, I see this exception:

2008-05-16 15:21:35,671 ERROR [WebContainer : 201] [opensymphony.webwork.dispatcher.ServletDispatcher] serviceAction Could not execute action

Is there any sort of ETA for when this NullPointerException might be able to be fixed?

We have a group of users that would like to specify a page that does or (more importantly) will exist in Confluence as their link for an event, without having to specify the full URL to that Wiki page.

Thanks,
Mike

FYI,

This error does not occur in the Confluence test area, which is running Confluence 2.8 and probably the latest version of the Calendar plug-in.

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TESTING/Test+Calendar+Functionality

However, it's unclear if it's an issue with the version of the Calendar plug-in we're using, or whether it's something about our configuration that's causing the issue (e.g. WebSphere, IHS configuration, etc.).

Thanks,
Mike

FYI,

When we upgraded our Confluence 2.5.7 installation that additionally uses Adaptavist Theme Builder 2.0.9 to use the latest version of the Calendar plug-in, the above NullPointerException no longer occurred.

Thanks,
Mike
