NullPointerException while starting up MWS

  • 1.  NullPointerException while starting up MWS

    Posted Thu March 17, 2011 09:58 PM

    When I issued “mws.bat start”, I got below error.
    Any idea why?

    [POP.001.0002] A “java.lang.NullPointerException” occurred with the Message “at com.webMethods.portal.portlet.wm_xt_portalrules.mechanics.PortalRulesMechanics.createFacesContext(PortalRulesMechanics.java:842)”
