I'm using DXA 2.0 GA with Sdl Web 8.5. At this stage, all I have is the out-of-the-box demo application, which I have not customised or added to. When I start it up and attempt to access the home page I get this error:

21:20:22.741 [http-nio-80-exec-3] INFO c.s.d.t.m.impl.DefaultModelBuilder - Page Model is null, for model data id = 247 21:20:22.749 [http-nio-80-exec-3] ERROR c.s.w.c.controller.PageController - Exception while processing request for: /dxa-webapp/ java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Page Model is null after model pipeline, model builder are not set?

A little earlier, I'm getting these warnings:

21:20:22.741 [http-nio-80-exec-3] WARN c.s.d.t.m.impl.DefaultModelBuilder - Exception happened while creating a page model 247 com.sdl.webapp.common.api.mapping.semantic.SemanticMappingException: Cannot create entity because entity class is null, have you added all modules you need?

I am aware that DXA is sometimes a bit fussy about having everything published, so I've made a point of double-checking that everything is. Perhaps there's something else I've missed?

What can cause the Model to be null in this situation? It seems likely that the warnings are also relevant. Under what circumstances would I need to add modules?

  • Can you edit your question and update it with all the modules that you installed on the CM side and if you also have included them in the web application (or vice versa)?

  • I thought I'd covered that with: "all I have is the out-of-the-box demo application, which I have not customised or added to". But indeed, the warning says check the modules. What's the best way to check?

  • In the CM I can see a folder BB/Modules/Core, but no others

  • Sounds like you indeed don't have any modules on the CM side, and assuming you also didn't install any on the web application then I don't have any further clues to work with at this moment.
