NullPointerException when running verifier

Hi, 

I'm using Gentoo Linux, J2SDK 1.6.0_03, GlassFish V2
v2ur1-b07. I've noticed a problem running glassfish verifier
(verifying EAR archive). I'm getting the following
verification results:

          ---------------------------
          STATIC VERIFICATION RESULTS
          ---------------------------

        
         ----------------------------------

         # of Errors : 1

a:114)

        
          ----------------------------------
          END OF STATIC VERIFICATION RESULTS
          ----------------------------------

Any hints on what might be the cause of this exception??

Best regards,

Can you check if there is a directory called
$GF_HOME/domains/somain1/lib?

Normally one should not encounter this NPE. It is a separate
matter that 
PELaunch.java [1] is not guarding itself against null value
that can be 
returned by File.listFiles().

Thanks,
Sahoo

Thanks Sahoo,

I looked at the source code and realized that this error is
probably related to the domain directory name. I don't know
exactly where this name is taken from but the problem
happens when there's no domain named 'domain1' (the default
domain name) created. I always change this name when I
install glassfish in setup.xml. When I created 'domain1'
with asadmin command the verifier ran with no exceptions. Is
this a bug or is it requiered to have a domain named
'domain1'?

Thanks a lot,
Olaf
