problem with java update 20 and 5.1.2

Classic Servoy
1

I updated to 5.1.2 and got all new signed 3rd party beans. Smartclient works great with java 6.17. My auto update skipped 6.19 and went right to 6.20, so I never got a chance to test 6.19. But with 6.20 I get the “Unable to Lunch the Application” dialog. I have the java client cache turned off.

Th details dialog shows:

Error: Unexpected exception:java.lang.NullPointerException

did you run my sign tester tool over your application directory?
you have loads of external plugins and it seems that there is something wrong with it.

i also upgrades to u20 yesterday but i didnt encounter additional problems.
or do you have it also with a plain 512 install without any other 3th party plugins?

I get the “Unable to Lunch the Application” dialog

Hmm, I am not sure that I would like to have the Application for lunch even it is was possible. Can not be very eatable :)

Java is on diet at the moment :lol:

Looks like a signing issue to me.

Yes, Johann, I did run signtester and everything is clean. Like I said, it’s 5.1.2 and it runs fine in update 17. And very funny guys, I’m lucky English is my first language, or I would probably make no sense at all.

OK, apparently it was my installation of java. After uninstalling and reinstalling entire v6 u20 it works fine.
