Error when adding/trying to modify kickstart profiles

Created attachment 581359 [details] Complete log file Description of problem: When trying to modify or add to a kickstart profile I am getting the following error: ERROR: redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: unhandled internal exception: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Double This is only a recent development as it was working up until the latest batch of updates (which included cobbler) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Spacewalk 1.6 cobbler 2.2.2.1 How reproducible: 100% (for me at least) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update cobbler to 2.2.2.1 2. spacecmd kickstart_addpackages <whatever profile> <any package> Actual results: ERROR: redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: unhandled internal exception: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Double Expected results: Success! Spacewalk love you long time! Additional info:
Got this exception with spacewalk 1.7 Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Double at org.cobbler.CobblerConnection.getVersion(CobblerConnection.java:174)
Has this problem yesterday. Turns out that cobbler was upgraded that morning. Did the following to backout cobbler: tar -pczvf /var/tmp/cobbler-backup.tar.gz /etc/cobbler /var/log/cobbler yum downgrade cobbler* * one could also rpm -e --nodeps cobbler and then rpm -ivh <old cobbler rpm> Copied the configuration files back. The cobbler daemon didn't like the switch and I ended up rebooting. Of course, I could have forgotten to stop cobbler BEFORE the downgrade. But, it was early and my coffee level was low. This brought me back to normal operation of Spacewalk.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-devel/2012-April/msg00065.html What OS do you use? This needs to be reported to either Fedora or Fedora EPEL, depending on what you use.
Using cobbler from the Fedora EPEL repo. I thought I reported it there, but .. like I said coffee underflow makes things sketchy.
No worries. Flipping the product to Fedora EPEL.
Fedora version of this bug is bug 819497.

Hi guys, I had exactly the same issue running Spacewalk 1.6 and spacewalk 1.7 with cobbler 2.2.2. This issue is due to a java code function that try to cast the cobbler version (that is returned as a string) to a double: (tomcat logs) Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Double at org.cobbler.CobblerConnection.getVersion(CobblerConnection.java:174) Until this issue is fixed in the code, you can fixed it temporarily by modifying the cobbler version file in : /etc/cobbler/version Changing the version line version: 2.2.2 to version: 2.2 Its not perfect but it will fix the issue until the java code is updated. Regards, Pascal
Hi guys, I'm using the spacewalk 1.7 on CentOS 6.2 with cobbler 2.2.2 , I had the same problem with tomcat. After changing the line version of the file /etc/cobbler/version, I can create the kickstart, but I have a problem to view the file via kickstart interface spacewalk.

This has been corrected in the current master branch, and will be fixed in version 2.2.3. In the meantime, you can build an updated RPM by checking out the github release22 branch and issuing the command "make rpms". This branch is currently the beta of 2.2.3 and the RPMs built will have that version. commit 053f0c52f01a119fdb780bf4e4d39d8817ae5a2b Author: James Cammarata <jimi@sngx.net> Date: Sat Apr 21 04:12:02 2012 -0500 Reverting commit 1d6c53a97, which was breaking spacewalk Changed the web interface stuff to use the existing extended_version() remote call
