Error description
When trying to create a lookaside repository, if the dbScehma property is not set in wimconfig.xml, the following exception may occur: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.ws.wim.dao.KeyMana ger.getLAKeyForTable(KeyManager.java:207) at com.ibm.ws.wim.dao. AbstractDAO.createLookAsidePropertyDefinition(AbstractDAO.java:4 555) at com.ibm.ws.wim.lookaside.LookasideAdapter.createSchema(L ookasideAdapter.java:1154) at com.ibm.ws.wim.SchemaManager.creat eSchema(SchemaManager.java:2050) at com.ibm.websphere.wim.Servic eProvider.createSchema(ServiceProvider.java:205)
Local fix
add the dbSchema value manually in the <config:propertyExtensionRepository> tag to the wimconfig.xml file
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * * using a property extension repository * * within a * * federated repository environment. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A NullPointerException is thrown when * * creating a property extension * * (lookaside) * * repository. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A NullPointerException is thrown when creating a property extension (lookaside) repository: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.ws.wim.dao.KeyMana ger.getLAKeyForTable(KeyManager.java:207) at com.ibm.ws.wim.dao. AbstractDAO.createLookAsidePropertyDefinition(AbstractDAO.java:4 555) at com.ibm.ws.wim.lookaside.LookasideAdapter.createSchema(L ookasideAdapter.java:1154) at com.ibm.ws.wim.SchemaManager.creat eSchema(SchemaManager.java:2050) at com.ibm.websphere.wim.Servic eProvider.createSchema(ServiceProvider.java:205) This indicates that the lookaside repository does not contain a table being referenced from the database. This can happen if the table in the database was created with a prefix. In this case, the prefix needs to be set in dbSchema in wimconfig.xml.
Problem conclusion
The NullPointerException is no longer thrown. Now a meaningful message will print out explaining which table is causing the iss and the steps needed to resolve it. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.20 and 9.0.5.8.
