PH14948: WHEN PROPERTY FILES ARE RENAMED UCD WILL NOT START.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This exception is the result of a missing properties file:
  
  java.lang.NullPointerException
  	at
  java.util.Properties$LineReader.readLine(Properties.java:434)
  	at java.util.Properties.load0(Properties.java:353)
  	at java.util.Properties.load(Properties.java:341)
  	at
  com.urbancode.container.tomcat.Container.initProperties(Containe
  r.java:179)
  	at
  com.urbancode.container.tomcat.Container.run(Container.java:87)
  	at com.urbancode.ds.UDeployServer.main(UDeployServer.java:327)
  	at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
  	at
  sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessor
  Impl.java:62)
  	at
  sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethod
  AccessorImpl.java:43)
  	at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)
  	at
  com.urbancode.launcher.Launcher.invokeMainMethod(Launcher.java:2
  47)
  	at com.urbancode.launcher.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:172)
  	at com.urbancode.launcher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:100)
  
  It's not clear which file it's failing to find and there should
  be better logging here so we can quickly get to the root of the
  issue.
  

Local fix

• Do not rename UCD property files.
  If you do rename property files, ensure that hey are spelled
  correctly and in the right directory.
