NullPointerException when try to start James from RUN or Avalon Phoenix Launcher Main class

[Miroslav Nachev <mi...@space-comm.com>]

Hi,

When I try to start James from RUN script or using a simple class with 
org.apache.avalon.phoenix.launcher.Main.main(new String[] {"start"}) I 
have the following error:

There was an uncaught exception:
---------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------
The log file may contain further details of error.
Please check the configuration files and restart Phoenix.
If the problem persists, contact the Avalon project.  See
http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon for more information.



My idea to run from a simple class is to be able to debug the code from 
IDEs like NetBeans and/or JBuilder.

Any ideas where is the problem?



Regards,
Miro.

I recommend using remote debugging, having two separate JVM: one for
James, one for IDE.

This is done by enabling debugging in the startup scripts by
commenting in one line in phoenix.sh for Unix and run.bat for Windows
- just look for the related comments.

You then have to prepare your IDE to connect to the debuggee.
Please refer to the Java reference and the documentation of your IDE
how to establish remote debugging.

For how to properly prepare James for remote debugging, please come
back to the list if you encounter problems.
