Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of Business Process Manger v8.5 who are attempting to
  deploy a Mediation Flow that is using eager parsing mode
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When a user attempted to deploy their application a
  NullPointerException was seen in the log and the flow failed to
  deploy. This was caused by a file path error when the code
  attempted to retrieve the primitives belonging to the mediation
  flow that was being deployed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been changed to ensure the correct file path is
  provided when the primitives are retrieved.
