[opencms-dev] Registry Bug

[Massimiliano Alessandri]

There's a serious bug which could throw the novice user in a mess all of a 
sudden.
When changing Synchronization parameters from the Administration tool, 
sometimes the registry (the "config/registry.xml" file) remains corrupted 
with some extra repeated tags at the end of the file:
            <repository/>
         </module>
     </modules>
</registry>
Next time OpenCMS is restarted, an exception is displayed by the servlet 
and the platform doesn't start anymore.
By manually deleting the extra tags from the "registry.xml" file, the 
problem can be fixed.  But without knowing the trick, the problem could 
look hard to solve.  This issue was experienced many times since version 
4.4 and wasn't still solved on version 4.6.
Good luck
