NPE when creating and deploying a new report
Hi, I've been going through the 'Creating and Deploying a new Report'
wiki page and got to step 7 of the 'Creating the Report' section. When I press the Finish button nothing happens. I have this NPE in the ..log file: !ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2008-09-24 17:22:15.171 !MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:632) at java.util.Properties.setProperty(Properties.java:163) at com.ibm.team.reports.ide.ui.oda.internal.wizards.GenericDataSetWizardPage.collectDataSetDesign(GenericDataSetWizardPage.java:194) at org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.design.internal.ui.DataSetWizardPageCore.finishDataSetDesign(DataSetWizardPageCore.java:368) at org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.design.internal.ui.DataSetWizardBase.collectDataSetDesignFromPage(DataSetWizardBase.java:333) at org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.design.internal.ui.DataSetWizardBase.finishDataSetDesign(DataSetWizardBase.java:356) at org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.design.internal.ui.DataSetWizardBase.performFinish(DataSetWizardBase.java:81) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.finishPressed(WizardDialog.java:742) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.buttonPressed(WizardDialog.java:373) at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog$2.widgetSelected(Dialog.java:618) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(TypedListener.java:227) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:66) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:938) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:3682) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3293) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.runEventLoop(Window.java:820) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:796) at org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.actions.NewDataSetAction.createNewDataSet(NewDataSetAction.java:157) at org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.actions.NewDataSetAction.run(NewDataSetAction.java:142) at org.eclipse.jface.action.Action.runWithEvent(Action.java:498) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection(ActionContributionItem.java:546) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.access$2(ActionContributionItem.java:490) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem$5.handleEvent(ActionContributionItem.java:402) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:66) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:938) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:3682) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3293) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:2389) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runUI(Workbench.java:2353) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.access$4(Workbench.java:2219) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$4.run(Workbench.java:466) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:289) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:461) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:149) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:106) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:169) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:106) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:76) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:363) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:176) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:79) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:618) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:508) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:447) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1173) Any ideas, or should I go direct to the BIRT project? https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ReportsCreatingANewReport Thanks, Jeremy |

To make it easy/quick for forum readers, the summary of workitem 60923 is:
The data source needs to have the Project Area set to some non-empty value. The doc will be updated to make this clear. Cheers, Geoff James Stuckey wrote: I believe you are running into the issue described here: |
