[opencms-dev] Beginner with Java exception problem ..."getEncoding()Ljava/lang/String"

[Peter Sorrentino]

Hello everyone,

I just started trying out OpenCMS and have run into a problem I suspect
maybe a setup issue.  I am using Windows 2000 Pro, mysql-4.0.17-win,
j2sdk-1_4_2-nb-3_5_1-bin-windows, jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29 and
opencms_fat_5.0.1.  I followed the server setup instructions on the OpenCMS
website - the tests for mysql and tomcat all passed.

I can login to opencms with
http://localhost:8080/opencms/opencms/system/login/ Admin, admin.  Switching
from online to offline, going into admin and doing misc things,  all seem to
work fine.

 The problem (root cause) I am experiencing is a an exception (see below)
when I try to "edit page" after locking a page.  Did I mess up the Java
install somehow?  Are there some additional classes I need?  The "L" in
between "...getEncoding()" and "java..." looks suspicious.

Thanks,

Peter
