Hi all, I've seen this before with XE 1.8.2 and reproduced it with the brand new XE 1.8.3 (XWiki running on Tomcat 5.5 in a Windows Vista box)... This link... http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globalad... Leads to this error message... http://xen.net/images/errorGeneralCategory.png This seems to be the error... org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'getPrettyName' in class com.xpn.xwiki.api.PropertyClass threw exception Here most of the text thrown by the exception... http://xen.net/txt/errorGeneralCategory.txt Is it worth to create a Jira issue with this? I've a XE 1.7-milestone-3.14362 (running on Mac OS X/Tomcat) running without this glitch. Thanks! Cheers, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team

Hi all,

I've seen this before with XE 1.8.2 and reproduced it with the brand new XE 1.8.3 (XWiki running on Tomcat 5.5 in a Windows Vista box)...

This link...

http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globalad...

Leads to this error message...

http://xen.net/images/errorGeneralCategory.png

This seems to be the error...

org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'getPrettyName' in class com.xpn.xwiki.api.PropertyClass threw exception

This means that one of the properties listed in the sheet does not exist in the class. Which is strange... Are you sure you're using the right xar? The trunk administration application is not compatible with 1.8.3, so try importing the administration 1.10.1 xar ( http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/com/xpn/xwiki/platform/applications/xwiki-ap... ).

I have tried a number of times, both with 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 releases. Each installation with its own xar file. Between trials the xwiki schema was removed (I'm using MySQL). But of course I could be doing something wrong. You are sending a link to the administration application XAR. I asume this application is included with the default Wiki XAR for each release, isn't it? I can not reach the box in troubles right now. I'll try again ASAP and keep this thread posted with results. Of course, if nobody else is suffering this problem, I am doing something wrong here! Best, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team

I can consistently reproduce the error. Here the process: 1. To stop Tomcat. 2. To completely remove xwiki folder and xwiki.war. 3. To stop MySQL. 4. To drop xwiki schema. 5. To restart to Windows Vista box. 6. To download again XE 1.8.3 and the concerned default xar file (available at ). Those were stored in my desktop to avoid any confusion with previously downloaded files. Here how they do like... http://xen.net/images/xwiki183.png 7. To install the newly downloaded files. 8. To get to same error message when accessing General at XWiki.Preferences... http://xen.net/images/errorGeneralCategory.png BUT, if I import the XWiki administration application available at... http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/com/xpn/xwiki/platform/applications/xwiki-ap... **It works fine** Please, does this make any sense for you? Thanks! Cheers, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team

The same error, http://xen.net/images/errorGeneralCategory.png, installing XE 1.8.3 in a Mac OS X. I don't know where I am failing. Importing xwiki-application-administration-1.10.1.xar doesn't work in this case. Does this information help to identify any issue? Where could I be wrong? Thanks!
