Problem Note 42950: A NullPointerException appears in the tree display area when you use the ORA chooser
 |  |  |  |  |
When using an ORA chooser in SAS® Enterprise GRC, the area of the screen that should show a dimension tree structure might instead show you a NullPointerException error like the following:
NullPointer Exception Dimension LEGAL ORGANIZATION Message: none Reason: unknown java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sas.oprisk.monitor.web.tags.treechooser.SubtreeCodec.getNodes (SubtreeCodec.java:308) at com.sas.oprisk.monitor.web.tags.treechooser.SubtreeCodec. (SubtreeCodec.java:193) at com.sas.oprisk.monitor.web.tags.treechooser.SearchTreeAction.getTree (SearchTreeAction.java:416)
The error occurs if you configure more than one constraint for a feature in the configuration file "dimensionality.xml". Here is an example configuration that would cause the problem.
<feature name="IncidentEvent" allowUnconstrained="No">
<dimension name="RiskCategory" required="yes" />
<dimension name="ManagementOrg" required="yes"/>
<dimension name="LegalOrg" required="yes"/>
<dimension name="Geography" required="no" />
<dimension name="Product" required="no" />
<dimension name="Process" required="no" />
<dimension name="Library" required="no" />
<dimension name="Regulation" required="no" />
<constraint rel="ManagementOrg LegalOrg Map" />
<constraint rel="LegalOrg Geography Map" />
