I've updated the webfocus_client_root in the web.xml:


webfocus_client_root
C:\ibi\DevStudio76\client\wfc



I'm getting the following error message from the test application when attempting to login. I have no idea what parameter it's having a problem with. Any help would be appreciated.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi Dave,

Suggestions from our technicals: Please check the jar file. The WFAPI.jar file is distributed in the folder:
\install\ibi\WebFOCUS76\samples\webapps\wfapi\WEB-INF\lib\
Try adding it to the classpath. If that doesn’t work, then please open a case for assistance. You may either call at 1-800-736-6130, or access online at InfoResponse.

Cheers,

Kerry
