Description of problem: CLI methods retrieveBackingContent and updateBackingContent error if the webapp has multiple installed packages attached. A webapp should have only one installed package at any time, so under normal operation circumstances this scenario should not happen. However a database update error could result in having multiple installed packages attached to a webapp. If this happens, the uses will not be able to operate on the webapp from the CLI until the database is manually corrected. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a JBoss AS5, JBoss AS4, or Tomcat server inventoried 2. Manually update the database to have two installed packages attached to a webapp. 3. Use the CLI to find the webapp resource. 4. Call updateBackingContent on the webapp resource. Actual results: NPE error Expected results: The deployment process succeeds and the database is corrected during discovery. Additional info: The scenario described has a high occurrence chance with the old version scheme (eg. version=1.0). The scenario is very unlikely to happen with the new version scheme (eg. version=[sha256=abcd123]) however the risk is still present.
