Question
I deployed caArray in Eclipse but got exception when I tested the caArray. Why?
I deployed caArray 2.2.1 in eclipse and tried to test the program. When I clicked on the "Manage array design", I got exceptions. The first part of the exceptions was like these:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Category is null at gov.nih.nci.caarray.business.vocabulary.VocabularyServiceBean.getTerms(VocabularyServiceBean.java:134) at gov.nih.nci.caarray.business.vocabulary.VocabularyServiceBean.getTerms(VocabularyServiceBean.java:126) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:112) at org.jboss.ejb3.interceptor.InvocationContextImpl.proceed(InvocationContextImpl.java:166) at gov.nih.nci.caarray.application.ExceptionLoggingInterceptor.logException(ExceptionLoggingInterceptor.java:107) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.jboss.ejb3.interceptor.InvocationContextImpl.proceed(InvocationContextImpl.java:118) ...... ...... ...... at gov.nih.nci.caarray.web.filter.CacheControlFilter.doFilter(CacheControlFilter.java:132) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:202) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at gov.nih.nci.caarray.web.filter.UpgradeFilter.doFilter(UpgradeFilter.java:121) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:202) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:202) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:213) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:178) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:175) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:524) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:74) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:126) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:105) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:156) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:107) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:148) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:869) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11BaseProtocol.java:664) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.processSocket(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:527) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.MasterSlaveWorkerThread.run(MasterSlaveWorkerThread.java:112) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)"
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:
- Opening the caArray database to see if the tables have been installed.
- Querying a known caArray table in MySQL Client:
SELECT * FROM category
If the schema is indeed empty, it can be reinstalled via the steps below:
- Shut down the caArray JBoss server.
- Run the following ant command from the software/build folder:
ant database:reinitialize
- Restart caArray JBoss
