Answer

This type of the exception could be caused by an empty caArray schema. The user should verify if the caArray schema has been setup properly by:

  1. Opening the caArray database to see if the tables have been installed.
  2. Querying a known caArray table in MySQL Client:
    Code Block
    SELECT * FROM category
    

If the schema is indeed empty, it can be reinstalled via the steps below:

  1. Shut down the caArray JBoss server.
  2. Run the following ant command from the software/build folder:
    Code Block
    ant database:reinitialize
    
  3. Restart caArray JBoss
