Created attachment 1085504 [details] SystemOut.log showing exceptions. Description of problem: When running dashbuilder on WebSphere, there is a blank page after user logs in and there are tons of occurrences of this NPE in SystemOut.log: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.dashboard.database.hibernate.HibernateTransaction.begin(HibernateTransaction.java:140) (see details in SystemOut.log attached) Digging deeper reveals, that Hibernate fails to initialize, because there are two conflicting implementations of org.jboss.logging.Logger in WAS deployable dashbuilder.war/WEB-INF/lib This class is present both in dashbuilder.war/WEB-INF/lib/jboss-logging-spi-2.2.0.CR1.jar and dashbuilder.war/WEB-INF/lib/jboss-logging-3.1.4.GA-redhat-2.jar Discussing with engineering reveals, that community WAS assembly does NOT contain the following jar: jboss-logging-spi-2.2.0.CR1.jar After deleting jboss-logging-spi...jar from the dashbuilder.war/WEB-INF/lib the hibernate initializes fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): BPM Suite 6.2.0 ER4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Deploy BPM Suite with some production database (e.g. Oracle12c or any other supported on) 2. Enter credentials in dashbuilder login page and login Actual results: Blank page is displayed - NPE appears in SystemOut.log showing that Hibernate was not initialized. Expected results: Login is possible in web sphere distribution. Additional info:
My apologies. The duplicated jars are in the upstream as well. I was originally looking at https://github.com/droolsjbpm/dashboard-builder/tree/master/builder which is OK but is not what actually ends up in the product. The assembly that is used in product is located here: https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm-dashboard/tree/master/jbpm-dashboard-distributions and after building with "-Dfull -Dproductized" I can see the duplicated jars there. I will fix this asap.
