Description Justin Sherrill 2010-02-02 15:54:54 UTC 
When trying to re-provision a machine that does not have a system record defined, you will get an ISE with the newest version of cobbler.

The reason is that the get_system api call to cobbler is now returning a "~" instead of an empty map.  


Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.Map
	at org.cobbler.CobblerObject.lookupDataMapByName(CobblerObject.java:121)
	at org.cobbler.SystemRecord.lookupByName(SystemRecord.java:77)
	at com.redhat.rhn.manager.kickstart.cobbler.CobblerSystemCreateCommand.store(CobblerSystemCreateCommand.java:219)

	at com.redhat.rhn.frontend.action.kickstart.ScheduleKickstartWizardAction.runThird(ScheduleKickstartWizardAction.java:458)



Seems like an api change in cobbler, will investigate that as well as put in a workaround.
Comment 1 Justin Sherrill 2010-02-02 16:06:17 UTC 
Version of cobbler causing the problem:


[root@columbia cobbler]# rpm -q cobbler
cobbler-2.0.2-2.el5
