Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Monica Crawford <>]

I should have clarified.  I get the below stack when going to the URL
localhost:7001/grouper/populateDebugPrefs.do.  I should at least get to 
the URL even if I can't set the preferences to an exploded war file.


I'm wondering if the source of the NPE ( x = 
request.getRealPath(request.getServletPath()) ) is also related to the 
lack of lists I see.  I'll work on it some more tomorrow.

Thanks Gary!
Monica
