Description _ pcw 2004-09-28 20:02:42 UTC 
Delete $userdir\Config\J2EE\platform.properties if
it exists and start NB.  During startup, you'll
get an exception (masked NPE at
WebServiceModuleInstaller#83) from the registry
module before the appserver install dir can be set.

Comment 2 _ pcw 2004-09-28 20:05:25 UTC 
The NPE is easy enough to fix... the real problem is that the registry
module now depends on the appserver jars at runtime, including
startup.  If this path has not been set, the module should not enable
itself (but if the path is found on next start, it should not stay
disabled.)  What is the best way to do that?
Comment 3 _ pcw 2004-09-28 23:01:25 UTC 
Registry module now behaves nicely when no SJSAS support (and thus no
backing for web services) is available.  Node is present, marked
Disabled, with a tool tip telling to go to Tools | J2EE Platform
Manager to enable it.
