This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Try to attach the BPEL Debugger (doesn't matter if bpel engine is running or not) You will see something like this: (notice the directory C:\gf91-b38, doesn't even exist, where does it get that value?) java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to get FileObject for server instance [C:\gf91-b38]deployer:Sun:AppServer::localhost:4848 at
