JON 2.4.1 During installation process, server log is flooded with the following exceptions. The installation process is finished while these still being logged. 2011-03-12 13:31:27,332 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter] An exception or error occurred in the container during the request processing java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.parseSessionCookiesId(CoyoteAdapter.java:507) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.postParseRequest(CoyoteAdapter.java:449) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:239) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:844) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:583) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)
After clicking "Done! Click here to get started!" link, the error messages stopped being logged, so I guess it's some forgotten AJAX request checking whether the installation process has finished.
This is a JBossWeb bug (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWEB-188), which must be occurring after we undeploy rhq-installer.war from the root context and instead deploy rhq-portal.war to the root context.
spotted a 2nd time by ips during JON CR5 qualification. .ear is not fully deployed for a period of time. setting priority to medium and target release to RHQ 4.3
spotted in JON 2.4.2 pre-qualification.
I believe this is now moot with the recent changes to EAP6 and rhqctl based installation.
