Dataverse 6.3: Error Rendering View[/dataset.xhtml]

[Alfredo Cosco]

Hello,

through trials and errors, I managed to overcome the Solr errors during the upgrade to version 6.3 of a Dataverse instance.

At this stage, the 500 error on the front page has disappeared, but no dataset or dataverse is visible.
I am at a standstill because I cannot interpret this error message:

Alfredo,

Very tricky issue. It looks like the underlying code isn’t handling a null value well, but I initially could not trigger the problem. I was finally able to reproduce this by setting a bad value for the :MetadataLanguages setting (valid JSON, but the content not being what the setting expects), e.g.

 

curl -X PUT -d ‘[{“one”:”two”}]’ http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:MetadataLanguages

 

deleting that setting or adding a valid value (see https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/config.html#allowing-the-language-used-for-dataset-metadata-to-be-specified for an example with English and French) got rid of the problem.

 

Hopefully your issue is the same and if you delete or correct that setting things will work.

Thank you very much Jim.

Assuming that the instance I'm trying to upgrade has only one language: english, I removed both :Languages and :MetadataLanguages settings.

I saw in an other db and this should work.

Now there are no more errors on the server start up but the home page is empty (just the template, no dataset or dataverse listed) and in the log appears this recurring error for all the xhtml pages:

[2024-09-26T07:19:35.861+0000] [Payara 6.2024.9] [WARNING] [faces.metadata.invalid.location] [jakarta.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.faces.taglib] [tid: _ThreadID=89 _ThreadName=http-thread-pool::jk-connector(5)] [timeMillis: 1727335175861] [levelValue: 900] [[
  JSF1103: The metadata facet must be a direct child of the view in viewId /dataset.xhtml]]

[Alfredo Cosco]

UPDATE: I reindexed the solr and now in the home page I can see dataverses and datasets.

The error persists in the log but I can see the site.

[Alfredo Cosco]

Detailed update: 

I can see the whole site except for Dataset pages.
On screen is an error 500
On the log, I see messages about the generated pages: /dataset.xthml

Error Rendering View[/dataset.xhtml]
jakarta.el.ELException: /metadataFragment.xhtml @21,162 rendered="#{!(empty mdLang and mdlangCode!='undefined')}": /dataset.xhtml @952,145 value="#{DatasetPage.getLocaleDisplayName(DatasetPage.effectiveMetadataLanguage)}": java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.equals(Object)" because "code" is null

So, what if I undeploy and redeploy the application in Payara? 

Thanks,

Alfredo

You may try to rerun ./setup-all.sh again.  Reference: dataverse-docker/static/dataverse-entrypoint.sh at main · link89/dataverse-docker (github.com)

Thanks, it might work, but I'm upgrading and I'm afraid I'll lose my existing configurations by doing so.

[James Myers]

It’s possible that the :MetadataLanguages setting is cached somewhere, so restarting payara is a reasonable test. Beyond that, can you confirm that

 

curl http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:MetadataLanguages returns 404 not found?

 

And can you confirm whether doing

 

curl -x PUT -d ‘[{“locale”:”en”, “title”:”English”}]’  http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:MetadataLanguages

 

solve the problem or not? (Even as a temporary solution.)

Hello,

curl http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:MetadataLanguages returns 404 not found?

Yes, I confirm

 

curl -x PUT -d ‘[{“locale”:”en”, “title”:”English”}]’  http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:MetadataLanguages

 

YES, it solves the big part of the problem: now I can see the datasets too.

Log is still full of warnings:

  JSF1103: The metadata facet must be a direct child of the view in viewId /dataset.xhtml]]

But they don't seem to affect the user experience.

Thanks a lot,

Alfredo
