I've deployed the Java DXA 1.4 web app in Tomcat. My publication is fully published to the broker database. When I browse to the site I get the following error. Any ideas what could be causing it?

    Have you implemented any custom PageBuilder? If not, then most probably the problem is occurring because DD4T returns a null from dd4tPageFactory which is actually strange, and, following the code analyze, shows a probable problem with caching. Did you modify default cache settings? Stop at breakpoint at ModelBuilderPipeline:71 and check what's null: pageBuilder or genericPage.

  • Hi, I've not modified any cache settings. I'm not able to stop the pocess at a breakpoint. I'm not familiar with such things.

  • For the caching, are you referring to the cache channel service? In the session microservice (which I assume the webapp is using) the storage conf file has " <ObjectCache Enabled="false">" and so the cache service is not in use. Or are you referrring to some other form of caching?

  • Oh, and "no" to a custom pagebuilder.

There were so many issues getting DXA working but most related to my microservices set-up, not to the DXA webapp. I think this one was cured by moving to Tomcat 8.5 at Alexey Zarakovskiy's suggestion. I'd been on Tomcat 7. The pre-requisites could need updating.
