[opencms-dev] Why is that exception thrown on a fresh install - The OpenCms setup wizard is still enabled

[Christoph Kukulies]

Hi Stephan,

thanks. At this point I haven't gone through the setup. I haven't even invoked any piece of OpenCms at this point in time. I just started the container with the webapp (OpenCms, ROOT in this case)

Even if you say this is normal - I understand the textual notification "The OpenCms setup wizard is still enabled." - I totally agree with that but on the other hand I totally disagree that it has to be accompanied with an ugly backtrace.

It doesn't have to be that the first start of OpenCms is producing a java exeption with a backtrace. I'm with OpenCms for 20 years now :)
and  I believe this has been the case all the time, but it's time to change that.

As soon as I have time I will change that in the OpenCms source and supply a patch that suppresses this exception bomb
and answers gently. 

When you want to inspect the logs to see if everything has started fine there shouldn’t be the neccessity to wad through a long backtrace to finally find that
little text message.
