Error description
When trying to run the remote web content viewer portlet on a non-WCM WebSphere Portal installation the portlet shows a error message and in the log file the following exception can be found. Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.workplace.wcm.services.config.WCMConfig.getProperty(WCMC onfig.java:97) at com.ibm.workplace.wcm.services.config.WCMConfig.getString(WCMCon fig.java:137) at com.aptrix.pluto.Pluto.getProperty(Pluto.java:203) at com.aptrix.pluto.Pluto.getProperty(Pluto.java:227) at com.aptrix.pluto.cmpnt.BaseReferenceCmpnt.<clinit>(BaseReference Cmpnt.java:147) at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initializeImpl(Native Method) at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.java:200)
Local fix
The portlet fails because the internal WCM configuration service isn't available in the remote use case when running the portlet on a WebSphere Portal installation without the WCM feature installed. Fixed the code to handle missing WCM configuration service
