webMethods Knowlegebase : Skin administration giving NullPointerException (NPE) (1799461)

Troubleshooting


Problem

After deploying a new skin into MWS, there is problem with displaying a picture which is part of the skin.

When opening the Skin using the sysadmin user and go to the MWS image administration (Folders > System > Skins > MySkin > Images) the following NullPointerException message is displayed:

"[POP.001.0002] A "java.lang.NullPointerException" occurred with the Message "at com.webmethods.portal.portlet.impl.wm_xt_skin.mechanics.SkinMechanics.getServerSideResourcePath(SkinMechanics.java:200)" "

In the MWS full log they get the following error:

"(Framework:INFO) [RID:314109] - [POP.001.0002] A "java.lang.NullPointerException" occurred with the Message "at com.webmethods.portal.portlet.impl.wm_xt_skin.mechanics.SkinMechanics.getServerSideResourcePath(SkinMechanics.java:200)"
