    I'm getting a java.lang.NullPointerException when I try to load dots:

[1060:0002-1444] 08/03/2012 11:03:28 AM  Domino OSGi Tasklet Container started ( profile DOTS )

    I'm running a brand new domino install:

    Windows 7 Professional, 64bit

    Domino 8.5.4, 64 bit

    OSGiTaskletService2.0.3

     

    Before installing OSGiTaskletService2.0.3 code, this domino install already had a ndots.exe (6/14/2012, 103 KB) in the Lotus/Domino  directory.  However, there was no other dots code installed.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    • ndotes.exe and plugins

      By Paul Fiore 1 decade ago

      If you're running a pre-release build of 8.5.4 then you'll see ndots.exe already installed in the bin directory.  This is just the server addin task that launches and initializes the OSGi framework.  If you haven't laid down the plugins as described in the documentation then you'll get the error you encountered.

      At this time the dots plugins are not shipped with the base install of 8.5.4.  Since 8.5.4 has not shipped yet I won't be able to comment further on product plans. 

      My suggestion is to [optionally] replace the ndots.exe and add the plugins from the zip supplied on OpenNTF if you want to try out dots functionality on 8.5.4 at this time.
