Source not found exception in JSF processing
Hope this is not a newbie question, but I am stuck here.
I am using jdk 1.5_07 with tomcat 5.5 and using Exadel studio for eclipse as my ide.
I have created a jsf page with a simple drop down menu. The menu gets its data from a backing bean, which in turn calls a business object that queries the database to get the data for the drop down.
When I run the page, it fails because it says it returns a null list.
In the debugger, i have stepped through the code and backing bean (session based) does everything it is supposed to, including updating the property in the object ArrayList<SelectItem>. When the backing bean is initialized, the constructor calls a method that initializes this property properly.
As soon as the initializiation is done, however, I get an error message in the debugger that:
"The source attachment does not contain the source for the file NativeMethodAccessorImpl.class. You can change the source attachment by clicking "Change Attached Source below:". Click on this button brings up a window for me to select my src.zip, prepopulated with C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_07/src.zip. The file exists, I have checked it.
If I continue in the debugger, it then does call the getter method for the property, but at that point in time, the object is empty for whatever reason (again, it was a sesson bean), so that it returns a null to the jsf page, which then blows up because it got a null value.
I have no idea what is happening here - the message would seem to indicate a problem with my JDK, but it works fine for the example apps and in tomcat.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich
