I have set up a fresh Web 8.5 install, and a fresh DXA 1.7 Java web app. However, when I try to start my webapp, I get an error 

com.sdl.odata.client.api.exception.ODataClientHttpError: Unable to get response from OData service: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><metadata:error xmlns:metadata="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/metadata"><metadata:code>9000</metadata:code><metadata:message>org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'storageFactoryConfigurationLoader': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException</metadata:message></metadata:error>

As this looks like an error with my context microservice, I looked at the logs of this service. The service itself started fine, and showed no errors when loading.

However, upon the first request from DXA, I notice the following error in the context service logs

2017-10-05 21:55:40,454 ERROR ODataQueryProcessorImpl - Unexpected Exception when executing query.

From the error, it looks like it can't seem to initialize the storage configuration. However, I just copied the microservice configuration from the SDL Web Installation directory, and kept all default settings.

Am I missing something in my setup ?

The storage config looks very minimal

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Version="8.5" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="schemas/cd_storage_conf.xsd">
<ConfigRepository CacheEnabled="true" CacheExpirationDuration="600" ClientId="registration" ClientSecret="*****" ConnectionTimeout="10000" ServiceMonitorPollDuration="10" ServiceUri="${discoveryurl:-http://localhost:8082/discovery.svc}" TokenServiceUrl="${tokenurl:-http://localhost:8082/token.svc}">
    <Roles>
        <Role Name="ContextServiceCapability" Url="${contexturl:-http://localhost:8087/context.svc}"/>
    </Roles>
</ConfigRepository>

Small update: the error seems to go away if I disable the context-expression-module. However, we're planning on using this module, so just leaving it out isn't an option

    Just rebooted my server, and the error seems to have gone. Very odd...

    actually, the error returned about an hour ago, so it's not really solved yet.

Above issue sure for cd_storage_config.xml issue on context service

Here is the working config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration Version="8.5"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../schemas/cd_storage_conf.xsd">
  <Global>

    <ObjectCache Enabled="false">
    </ObjectCache>

    <Storages>
      <StorageBindings>
        <Bundle src="storage_extension_dao_bundle.xml"/>
      </StorageBindings>

      <Storage Class="com.tridion.storage.persistence.JPADAOFactory" Type="persistence" Id="defaultdb" dialect="MSSQL" >
        <Pool Type="jdbc" CheckoutTimeout="120" IdleTimeout="120" MonitorInterval="60" Size="5"/>
        <DataSource Class="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource">
          <Property Name="serverName" Value="localhost" />
          <Property Name="portNumber" Value="1433" />
          <Property Name="databaseName" Value="xxxx" />
          <Property Name="user" Value="xxxx" />
          <Property Name="password" Value="xxxx" />
        </DataSource>
      </Storage>
    </Storages>
  </Global>

  <ItemTypes defaultStorageId="defaultdb" cached="true">
