XBuildNumber and older TWS?

Hi

I installed TWS 4.2.1.1

Since i’m having trouble with security, i temporarily want to use TWS 4.1.x instead.

So i replaced my domain.xml file with an appropriate 4.1.4 file, and attempted to start 4.1.4.

But i get an error:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.io.File.(Unknown Source)
at com.softwareag.xtools.xdav.util.XBuildNumber.(Unknown Source)
at com.softwareag.xtools.xdav.servlet.XWebdavServlet.init(Unknown Source)
at javax.servlet.GenericServlet.init(GenericServlet.java:256)
at org.apache.slide.webdav.WebdavServlet.init(Unknown Source)

which stops the servlet from loading.

Is there a way i can force an old TWS to work?

(I tried deleting the database with xdav:metadata in it and creating a new one from scratch, but this didn’t work either)

thanks

Jason

Turns out it was failing because you don’t need to set tomcat.home or taminowebdavserver.home with 4.2.1.1, but since you do for 4.1.4.x, i had to add this for tomcat 5 startup.
