    Problem Symptoms

    • Loan information in Primo shows 0 loans
    • When call is made using data for a specific loan, vxws throws exception:

    SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [DLFWebService] in context with path [/vxws] threw exception
    java.lang.NullPointerException

    Cause

    The exl_default/vxws.properties file is updated at upgrade; the vxws.properties file in the /eng directory is not a fresh copy from /exl_default with customizations applied, so there are lines missing.

    Resolution

    1. cd /m1/voyager/xxxdb/tomcat/vxws/context/vxws/ui/eng
    2. Open vxws.properties for editing.
    3. Find this line: page.myAccount.reqPending.availableForPickup=Available for pickup
    4. Add these missing lines after the line above:

    ###################################################################################
    # Item information substitution tokens to display the codes' corresponding
    # information in the Item column on the Charged Item section of My Account page
    # \\t -> the item's title
    # \\i -> the item's enumeration, chronology and year
    # \\n -> the item's copy number
    # \\c -> the item's call number
    # \\b -> the item's barcode
    # \\l -> the item's location
    # \\a -> the item's author
    ###################################################################################
    page.myAccount.chargedItem.itemInfo=\\t

    ###################################################################################
    # Item title substitution tokens to display the item's title, enum, chron, year
    # and copy number information in the item title field of patron requestItem
    # elements of the circulation actions services
    # \\t -> the item's title
    # \\i -> the item's enumeration, chronology and year
    # \\n -> the item's copy number
    ###################################################################################
    page.myAccount.reqPending.itemInfo=\\t \\i

    ###################################################################################
    # Item due date substitution tokens to display the codes' corresponding
    # information in the Due Date column on the Charged Item section of My Account page
    # \\d -> the item's due date
    # \\e -> the item's due date, if the due date is not today
    # \\t -> the item's due time
    # \\u -> the item's due time, if the due date is today
    ###################################################################################
    page.myAccount.chargedItem.dueDate=\\d \\t

    Additional Information

    Upon upgrade, it is important to start with a fresh, updated copy of files in /exl_default before applying customizations.
