APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
A NullPointerException is thrown when using the AdminTask.validateConfigProperties command to validate a properties file with the wsadmin tool. This occurs when a properties file contains multiple property values separated by lines. The syntax of the command is similar to: AdminTask.validateConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName /usr/mydir/my.application.props -reportFileName /usr/mydir/my_app_error.txt -reportFilterMechanism Errors_And_Changes]') The following messages will appear: ADMG0824I: Start validating properties from file /usr/mydir/my.application.props. ADMG0826I: Error found in section ResourceType=Application ConfigType=Application:ContainingConfigType=Application:Attribut eName=null ConfigId=Cell=cellA:Deployment=myDeployment1 Error=java.lang.NullPointerException ADMG0826I: Error found in section ResourceType=Application ConfigType=Application:ContainingConfigType=Application:Attribut eName=null ConfigId=Cell=cellA:Deployment=myDeployment2 Error=java.lang.NullPointerException ADMG0825I: End validating properties from file /usr/mydir/my.application.props.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V7.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AdminTask validateConfigProperties * * command reports a * * NullPointerException in the * * application. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The problem is caused by the MapInitParamForServlet install task because it contains multiple property values separated by lines on row1. The properties file parser only reads the first line of the property value when parsing the property value and causes the NullPointerException error during validation.
Problem conclusion
This is a bug in the properties file based configuration (PFBC) parser code when installing an application through the PFBC command and one of the install tasks specified in the properties file contains multiple property values separated by lines. The parser only read the first line of the property value. This has now been corrected. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.25.
