Kumi, thanks for the report and the suggestion for how to fix it.

This is fixed in the latest 2.3.0 installer and tested on a 2.2.1 upgrade for 
api, ui, and ws.

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1429

Thanks!
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] NullPointerException trying to upgrade v2.2.1 > 
v.2.3.0

Hi,

I'm getting a NullPointerException running the upgrade from v2.2.1 to v.2.3.0
using the grouperInstaller.   (I just downloaded the installer today.)

Here's the stack trace:

Here is the dir list of the tarballs dir at this point so the file seems to be
there:
root@grouper-be-dev:/private/src/grouper.installer-2.3.0/tarballs# ls -ltr
total 8164
drwxr-xr-x 28 root root    4096 Nov 16 15:07 patches
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 3888869 Nov 16 15:07 grouper.clientBinary-2.3.0.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 4464640 Nov 16 15:07 grouper.clientBinary-2.3.0.tar

I can reproduce this by trying to upgrade a vanilla installation of v2.2.1 to
v2.3.0.   I even tried untarring the grouper.clientBinary-2.3.0.tar to see if
that helped, but no luck.  It threw an exception at the same line.

Has anyone seen this, and if so, how did you get past it?

Thanks,
Kumi
