Description Pavel Studeník 2013-06-28 12:38:44 UTC
Description of problem:
I created kickstart profile for provision real system - Virtualization Type is "None". And when I clicked on button "Schedule Kickstart and Finish" on page rhn/systems/details/kickstart/ScheduleWizard.do, I found error in log catelina.out. Problem is only traceback in log - I didn't find any other problem of functionality. 

If I set Virtualization Type to other value ( except "None"), then it's without traceback.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spacewalk-java-1.9.83-45.el6sat.noarch


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create kickstart profile with none Virtualization Type
2. provision system - click on button "Schedule Kickstart and Finish"
3. got error in catalina.out

Actual results:
traceback is in log

Expected results:
without traceback


Additional info:
>> tail /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out

Fixed in spacewalk master: e5372e275dd1e8f0ffded62f54e4e99f42073d43

By the way, a real (functional) side effect of this traceback was that if you tried to use the "delete system" or "add to / remove from ssm" links you would have gotten an internal service error (because the system id was not being included in the url).
